She was named after her maternal great-grandmother, Anna Sophie, and her paternal grandmother, Anna Marie. Robb is of Danish, English, Irish, Scottish, German, and Swedish descent.

She competed in dance and gymnastics for four and a half years, but quit to focus on acting. Robb attended Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado, and graduated in 2012.
Career
Career
At age eight, Robb was scouted by an agent, and she and her mother drove to Los Angeles. After several auditions, Robb was invited to appear in a national commercial for Bratz dolls. After appearing in a commercial for McDonald's, Robb had a small role in "Number One Fan", an episode of the television series Drake & Josh. Her first major role was the title character in the television special Samantha: An American Girl Holiday. Robb's two big-screen appearances in 2005 were adaptations of popular children's books. She starred as Opal in Because of Winn-Dixie, and as Violet Beauregarde in Tim Burton's adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The latter was a major box office success worldwide and helped escalate Robb's popularity among preteen audiences. In 2005, Robb was the face of Trad Clothing, helping to design and model a fashion line for girls. The following year, she had a guest role on the cartoon show Danny Phantom as the voice of Danielle "Dani" Fenton. Robb played Leslie Burke in Bridge to Terabithia with Josh Hutcherson, which opened in U.S. theaters on February 16, 2007. She recorded a song for the soundtrack titled, "Keep Your Mind Wide Open", and the accompanying video received rotation on the Disney Channel. The song peaked at number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the week of March 1, 2007, giving Robb her first charting single. Robb was a fan of the book before being cast in the role, saying that it "touched me in a way I hadn't been touched by a book before". • Illustration — Robb at an event for Material Girl in 2013 Robb went on to appear in The Reaping; Have Dreams, Will Travel; Jumper; and Spy School. Despite negative reviews of the film overall, Robb's performance in Sleepwalking garnered praise. Time film critic Richard Schickel said: "There is a wonderful range to Robb's work...this is extraordinarily mature acting from someone this young, and she wins our sympathy without once begging for it." In 2008, Robb recorded the voice of Mary Magdalene in The Word of Promise: Next Generation – New Testament: Dramatized Audio Bible. She also starred in Race to Witch Mountain (2009). In 2010, she appeared in The Space Between. Robb then starred in Soul Surfer, playing Bethany Hamilton, who continued to surf after losing her arm in a shark attack. In May 2011, Robb was announced to star as Wendy Darling in Pan, but later dropped out of the project. On February 3, 2012, it was reported that Robb had landed a role in Life at These Speeds. Later that month, she was cast as the young Carrie Bradshaw in The CW's Sex and the City prequel, The Carrie Diaries, and appeared in the teen comedy, The Way, Way Back. In October 2013, Robb started filming for A Conspiracy on Jekyll Island, playing the cancer-stricken daughter of lead characters played by Frank Grillo and Minnie Driver; it was released as The Crash in 2017. Robb played the role of Alice Green in the PBS Civil War historical drama series Mercy Street from 2016 to 2017. In February 2023, Robb was attached to the film Thelma, which, as of September 2024, has yet to go into production. In April 2024, she was attached to Grosse Pointe Garden Society, a new series ordered by NBC, which debuted in February 2025 to "mixed or average" reviews, according to metacritic.
