Can a robot survive in the wilderness?
When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is alone on a remote, wild island. She has no idea how she got there or what her purpose is--but she knows she needs to survive. After battling a fierce storm and escaping a vicious bear attack, she realizes that her only hope for survival is to adapt to her surroundings and learn from the island's unwelcoming animal inhabitants.
As Roz slowly befriends the animals, the island starts to feel like home--until, one day, the robot's mysterious past comes back to haunt her.

and Creepy Pair of Underwear! comes the third in this hilariously
spooky series about a young rabbit and his peculiar
encounters—featuring a sinister crayon! Jasper Rabbit has a
problem: he is NOT doing well in school. His spelling tests?
Disasters. His math quizzes? Frightening to behold. But one day, he
finds a crayon lying in the gutter. Purple. Pointy. Perfect.
Somehow…it looked happy to see him. And it wants to help. At
first, Jasper is excited. Everything is going great. His spelling
is fantastic. His math is stupendous. And best of all, he doesn’t
have to do ANY work! But then the crayon starts acting weird.
It’s everywhere, and it wants to do everything. And Jasper must
find a way to get rid of it before it takes over his life. The only
problem? The creepy crayon will not leave.
Dirty Enlightenment is a stripped-down, radical presentation of the
Nature of Reality and your spiritual place in it. In actuality, you
are a miraculously present infinite field of transcendental being
presenting itself to itself as subtle radiant energy of pure
intelligence. This truth is consonant with the view of Dzogchen,
Kashmir Shaivism, Kundalini Yoga, primal Buddhism, and with all
radical spiritual traditions. Since this is already and eternally
the sole condition, the spiritual challenge is merely to recognize
that this is the case. With the simple recognition of the nature of
your actual condition, you are freed from the confused implications
of any misinterpretations of what your condition is, that you may
have been laboring under. The apparent "imperfection" that you may
believe your life to be, is in fact already and inherently an
entirely transcendental, miraculous eternal perfection, and it can
be easy to discover this fact with self-verifying certainty.

The sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Wild Robot, by award-winning author Peter Brown
Roz is no ordinary robot. After being washed up on the shore of a remote and wild island, she learned to adapt and make it her home, befriend its animal inhabitants and even adopt a small orphaned gosling, Brightbill.
But a new life is now beginning for Roz - she has been taken away, far away from her island, back to civilisation. Where she must pretend that she is a robot like any other - there to follow orders and to carry out tasks on the farm where she now works. She knows she must never let anyone find out who she really is. And more than anything, she must find a way to escape, back to the island and her beloved Brightbill - a journey that will be fraught with danger and drama, and some very unexpected surprises ...
Life for Roz and the animals on their island is perfect: wild, natural, harmonious. Her son Brightbill has even found a mate! But then, one day an injured seal washes ashore and warns of dangerous, cloudy waters that are flowing toward the island—and soon the animals are forced inland to fight over dwindling resources.
Roz calms and organizes the animals, but the poison tide takes a terrible toll on the island. And when the robot discovers that her new body is waterproof, she marches into the waves and sets out across the ocean, determined to stop the poison tide.
During her undersea journey, Roz encounters amazing geological formations and incredible creatures, and she sees the devastation caused by the toxic waters. Creatures she meets along the way direct her to a mysterious character known as the Ancient Shark, who explains that the poison tide is caused by a huge station that floats on the waves; a station operated by humans and by robots. To stop them, the Ancient Shark is prepared to attack with an army of sea creatures. However, Roz hopes to find a peaceful solution, instead.
Can the wild robot save the ocean and her island and everything she loves?
