The Wild Robot

In the future, a ship carrying a lot of robots is sunk. One lone robot's box makes it onto the shore of an island and is activated by otters. The robot learns and adapts by learning from the animals on the island. The animals also learn from the robot. After an accident, the Robot ends up raising a gosling. The company, however, keeps track of all their inventory and they come for the Robot. Amazon writes, "Can a robot survive in the wilderness? When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is all 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 violent 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. From bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator Peter Brown comes a heartwarming and action-packed novel about what happens when nature and technology collide." All in all, I say: READ IT - I cried.
