Book Summary

In the third installment of the series, Roz the robot is living peacefully on her island with her goose son, Brightbill, and the other animals. Their peace is shattered when a mysterious, toxic sludge known as the 'Poison Tide' begins washing up on the shores, threatening the island's entire ecosystem. To save her home and her friends, Roz must leave the island and journey into the dangerous, unknown depths of the ocean. Along the way, she befriends various sea creatures, navigates the deep sea, and ultimately discovers a massive, automated underwater mining station that is causing the pollution. Roz must use all her strength and intelligence to shut down the destructive machines and protect the natural world.
