* NatureIsNotNice: Despite it's premise of a robot befriending animals, the book does not give you the typical Disney-esque depiction of nature. One prime example of this is when winter comes, the cold ends many animal's lives, with their dead, frozen bodies being buried in the snow.

Now has a [[ Character Page]].

The book is about a robot named Roz who wakes up one day on an island with no memory of any prior events who now must learn to survive in the ilans's wilderness.

The Wild Robot is about a Robot, Rozzom Unit 7274, otherwise known as Roz. One day, some hundred years into the future, Roz washes up on an island in a wooden crate with no knowledge of how she got there. Unbeknownst to her, the ship she and 500 other robots were being shipped in sank in the middle of a storm, and she was the only one to survive and make it onto land. Due to Roz being programed to keep herself in good working order, her only objective is to survive. To do this, she attempts to gain the resident animals of the island's trust after learning their language through observation in order to learn to better survive in the island's conditions. At first, she fails at doing so, as the animals find her robotic nature to be quite frightening. As the story continues, she ends up accidentally destroying a goose nest during a mudslide, killing all members of the goose family except for ome gosling egg. She ends up adopting the gosling inside the egg, whom with the help of other geese, she names Brightbill. Brightbill ends up greatly helping Roz in her quest for survival, as when the other animals see her taking care of a goose, they see her as less frightening. She ends up becoming friends with the beavers, a fox, a small squirrel known as Chitchat, and many more. As the book goes on, the animals of the island begin to respect her more and more as she makes herself useful, some examples include resolving a dispute between a grumpy fish and the beaver family, and creating lodges for the animals to survive in during a particularly harsh winter. Through these deeds and caring for Brightbill, Roz begins to [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming grow beyond her programming]], developing an actual interest in keeping Brightbill alive and questioning what her purpose is.
