A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, this captivating illustrated novel weaves a tale of nature and technology colliding in unexpected ways. Meet Roz, a robot who awakens to find herself stranded on a wild, secluded island. Bewildered by her surroundings and uncertain of her purpose, Roz must quickly learn to navigate her harsh new environment.
After weathering treacherous storms and narrowly escaping a savage bear, Roz realises her only chance of survival lies in adapting to the island and learning from its initially hostile animal inhabitants. As she gradually wins over the local fauna, the island begins to feel like home - until her enigmatic past suddenly resurfaces to challenge her newfound peace.
Hailed as 'An Iron Man style fable for our age' by award-winning author Piers Torday, and dubbed 'A modern-day classic in the making' by Booktrust, this sumptuously illustrated adventure from bestselling author and illustrator Peter Brown is a testament to resilience, friendship, and the unexpected bonds that can form between the most unlikely of creatures.
[Peter Brown's THE WILD ROBOT claimed the #1 spot on the New York Times bestseller list w/c 11th June 2023.]

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
