美國凱迪克銀牌獎得主彼得．布朗最新兒童小說創作
 當機器人流落到荒島，它有辦法生存下去嗎？

　　當機器人羅茲第一次睜開眼睛，她發現她孤伶伶流落在偏遠的荒島上。她為什麼在這裡呢？她又是從哪裡來的？然而，眼前最重要的事，是她將要如何在這惡劣的環境中生存？若羅茲想要存活下去，她唯一的希望是跟長久居住在此的動物們學習島上的生活。然而…她們對羅茲的到來，卻有充滿無可言喻的敵意。直到她開始獨力照顧一隻孤苦無依的小鵝後，事情似乎有了好轉，動物們決定一起協助幫忙。羅茲漸漸在小島上感覺到“家”的溫暖。直到有一天，她神秘的機器人記憶，開始回來困擾她…

　　故事情節感人。Peter Brown的文字語言，就像他繪本中的主角，線條大膽、用色鮮明，動作感和音律感十足。書中探討的現代議題：環境保育、機器人在新世界所扮演的角色、何謂真正活著? 再再發人省思。（文／博客來編譯）
