I really adore Ros as a character and loved the opportunity to follow her story again on another adventure. This one particularly focussed on climate and the inter connectedness of environments. I thought the overall message about the way we use the planet’s resources was powerful and also the impact of that on the wider globe was really well woven into the story.

The story was a page turning adventure and I was with Ros every step of the way from on her own island to the deepest oceans and back again. I really enjoyed the writing of this new environment too - was lovely to see Ros connect with new characters as well as previous ones. And of course beloved Brightbill’s story was also a joy to read.

We read The Wild Robot in Year 4 each year and it is always very well-loved by children and adults alike. The sequel was also very welcome and there was a lot of excitement when we discovered that we would get to read another of Roz's adventures.
The nostalgia and familiarity of the characters was like being reunited with old friends - a cheesy cliche but it's true! In The Wild Robot Protects, there is another danger threatening the safety of not only the island and its inhabitants, but of animals and sea creatures surrounding it and beyond. Author Peter Brown manages to address climate change, man's impact on the world, and the knock-on effects of changes to eco-systems.
There are some similarities to the previous books but these added to the book's charm.
The book (both copies I bought!) were instantly snapped up at school. Roz is a favourite character of so many children and I know this will only be cemented further with this latest instalment.

I’m sad that this is the final book in the Wild Robot series - I could have keep reading about Roz and her adventures indefinitely!
I liked that this one took to the sea and the affects of technology and mining on our seas and animals. The message again is huge and perfectly pitched for children to understand and take on board. This is a series I will read to my own children and to those children I teach - well done Peter Brown!!

I have read the first two in the series and am reading the first book with my P5/6 class at the moment which they are loving. Therefore I requested this to find out what happens next in Roz's adventures. I liked the book but did not love it the way I did with the other two. I missed all of the characters I loved and felt it was a bit long. I wasn't excited to keep reading as I had been with the other two. It is getting across an important message but I found it a bit slow and less engaging than the first two in the series.

Third in the 'future classic' series about a likeable robot.

I've just read the first with my 6-year-old, who loved Ros. He hasn't yet had time to read the next instalments with me, but I know this one will be right up his street, as it will appeal to his 'David Attenborough' fascination.

Our robot, Ros, is happily ensconced on her island home. Her son Brightbill is growing up, migrating and returning, even finding a female mate to introduce to his Mother. There is equilibrium and peace. Until a poison tide begins making the creatures that depend upon it sicken and die, and still others to take refuge on an island that simply can't sustain everyone, causing unbalance and impending disaster.

Ros determines to locate the cause and return the seas back to their previous state. Which will involve a long journey across the ocean.

What follows could come directly from some of the Attenborough series' we've been watching - a look at multiple fascinating creatures of the sea and how interdependent they are, how they depend on the health of the sea, how they live, and how easy it can be to throw the balance off and destroy millenia of life cycles and stability.

What also follows is a sea-set adventure and showdown including Man (of course - didn't we know He'd be involved?) and the new friends Ros makes trying to take control of their own environments.

Excellent third story for those who love Ros the wild robot, with a lot of good lessons for both home and schools about protecting the environment and understand the consequences of our own (ecological) actions.

For ages 6-11.

With thanks to Netgalley for providing a sample reading copy.

It’s such a delight to join Roz, Brightbill, Chitchat and their island animal friends for another adventure, this time with a strong environmental message.
The poison tide has appeared and threatens the way of life of all species, in water, on land and in the air. The only creature who could possibly help save them is the Ancient Shark. But this legendary being lives far away in the north. It is up to Roz, the only creature safe from the dangers of the poison tide, to journey in search of the wisdom of the Ancient Shark. And, along the way, she will discover so much more about the rich variety of life abundant in the depths of the oceans.
Peter Brown has created a cast of endearing characters out of the most unexpected subjects. You almost forget that the characters aren’t human, and yet they retain their unique animal and robot characteristics.
Dealing with such an emotive issue as pollution, it would be easy to become moralistic and start to apportion blame. However, Brown has maintained a balanced viewpoint and a subject that could have become too heavy and one-sided, is delivered in an accessible, clear and impartial way. It will provide a great springboard for debating these issues which so affect our world today.

Unfortunately I was not given adequate notice and this title was archived before I could access it.
I have since bought a copy to add to the rest of the set on our class bookshelf and it is proving popular.
I found it very similar (obviously) in style to the other 2 in the series., not my favourite style of writing but very appealing to lKS2.
Some nice themes covered.

Another book with a lot of heart. I have found each of these books slow in places but worth persevering with. Lovely core messages of working together, looking after family, learning from nature and protecting the world. In this story, the “poison tide” arrives on the island, endangering all the inhabitants and Roz must once again leave and explore the world to find the source and stop the tide from destroying her home.

Peter Brown has done it again. I was on the edge of my seat reading this and willing Roz the Robot on in her mission. A thought provoking text which I can imagine would lead to some interesting debates and writing opportunities if adapted as a class text. I now want to go back and read all three Wild Robot books again. Highly recommended

Gosh, it’s so nice to be back with Roz. She’s so gentle and kind; these books always make me smile and chuckle. Roz goes on an adventure to protect her home and her family. These stories always have such a wonderful message about protecting our world. I just love her.

Roz is back, this time she must now protect the island she's made home, plus the ocean and those who live in it. In order to do so she goes on an epic adventure through the ocean - thankful for that new, updated body! A thrilling adventure unfolds with plenty of twists and turns to keep little readers on the edge of their seats. Another winner from Peter Brown!

This is a general review of all the series, a series I discovered and read in 2023.
That said I loved it as Roz is a lovely character, the setting and the world building are excellent, good storytelling.
It deals with serious topics like pollution and environment but it never gets too dark or turn into a dystopia.
Loved it and recommend to read this series because it's an excellent read.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A great follow up to the previous books. I really like the way Peter Brown approaches huge topics and informs without feeling too educational (the younger children don't like our reading material to feel too much like school !) . Roz the robot is such a great character. More stories please.

Another good Wild Robot by Peter Brown. I’d highly recommend the whole series. Lots of big themes tackled in a gentle manner

Having enjoyed the first two Wild Robot adventures, I was excited to read the next instalment for Roz - the robot with a big heart -who lives on an island with her family and community of animals. It did not disappoint! Some very big themes are explored within the book - pollution / environmental damage being the key theme this time - but without becoming overwhelming as the reader believes Roz will succeed in her mission to save the ocean. I love the way Peter Brown drops facts into the story that will add to children’s knowledge without being too distracting and in direct address to the reader refers to the characters as ‘our friends’ because with how they are brought to life, they really are. Thank you NetGalley for the advance copy. Will definitely buy to add to the school library.

My nephew recommended the first book in this series to me and I loved it, and the sequel, Brown manages to get some very serious (and at times scary) messages over in the book without them becoming overwhelming or didactic.
I also very much love the illustrations throughout the book.

I hope that we do hear more from Roz in the future
