Oasis


Overview

JieJie and her little brother, DiDi, are living on their own in a barren desert while their mother works tirelessly to earn their admission into Oasis City. Their days are filled with weathering sandstorms and scavenging for water, but everything changes when they come across an AI-powered robot lying dormant in an abandoned junkyard. Filled with equal parts hope and suspense, Oasis tells the story of a potentially not-so-distant future that you won't ever forget.

Reviews

""Soft lines and simple character designs by Guojing (The Only Child) emphasize JieJie and DiDi's youthful vulnerability and optimism amid a somber landscape devastated by pollution and climate change. The delicate pencil shading evokes a powerful sense of tone and atmosphere, while large uncluttered panels inject a feeling of intimacy even in the vast desert. It's an evocative and moving graphic novel tale of sacrifice and what it means to be a family.""--Publisher's Weekly, starred review ""A thought-provoking, affecting allegory that reflects difficult realities yet is filled with love."" --Kirkus, starred review
