Description
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.
About the author
Contributor Notes
GuoJing is an award-winning author and illustrator based in Canada. Her debut book, The Only Child, was a New York Times best illustrated book of the year amongst many other distinctions and accolades. Oasis is her fourth graphic novel and was inspired by the phenomena of “left-behind children”; children who are left in rural areas while their parents leave to find work in the city.
