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

SynopsisTwo children and one robot take center stage in this timely exploration of how far AI technology can go., SEVEN STARRED REVIEWS! "It's rare to find a book so thought-provoking and haunting that also feels like it's welcoming the reader with a warm hug." - The New York Times With all the heart of The Wild Robot and the wonder of A Rover's Story , two children and one robot form an unbreakable bond as they survive in a world that values the efficiency of tech over the care of humanity. 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. "Perfectly blending story and art, this deeply compelling fable assures middle-grade readers that, with resilience, adaptability, and the hope for connection, love can prevail even amid desolation." - Booklist, starred review "The children are at the heart of the narrative, and the family they form, unconventional as it may be, offers a breath of hope in a dark time." - Kirkus, starred review
