Chapter 17 Summary: “The Birds”

Roz enjoys watching the birds that live near Hilltop Farm: Swallows, crows, and owls all have their unique way of flying, but the one thing they all have in common is the freedom to go where they please. While Roz admires a hawk, Roz tells Lily the calf that she misses watching Brightbill fly. Though Annabelle thinks Roz dislikes her life at Hilltop, Roz explains that she does enjoy farming, but she misses life on the island. Tess suggests Roz may never make it back to the island, and Lily tells her not to say that. Roz agrees that Tess may be right, and the robot only wishes she could fly like the hawk and return to her son.

Chapter 18 Summary: “The Entertaining Robot”

Jad and Jaya are playing underneath a tree, where their father and all his family before him have carved their names into the bark. When Roz passes by on her way to fix the Drone again, the bored children ask Roz if she can do any tricks, like a backflip. After the robot executes a perfect backflip, the children are amazed and command her to juggle and tell a joke.
