A thrilling dystopian YA novel from prodigious Irish teenager Eilís Barrett, Oasis is an epic adventure into a bleak future in which freedom may turn out to be just another cage ... At the age of 7, Quincy Emerson was abandoned by her parents in The Dorms, the brutal societal rehabilitation centre developed by the government of Oasis, a fortress city built from the ruins of a fallen earth. Amidst the brutality and regimentation of her life as a member of Oasis's underclass, she seeks comfort with Aaron, the boy she loves. But when her safety is threatened by those who control the city, she's forced to question everything she thought she knew including Aaron. Escaping Oasis, she finds a group of outcasts-turned-freedom-fighters and their leader Kole, a boy who sees more in her than she can see in herself, and under whose guidance she begins to learn the true meaning of freedom. Though finally free of Oasis, Quincy cannot escape her past. The war she was told ended years ago is still raging on, concealed from those within Oasis by a blaze of lies and propaganda. Soon she finds herself in the middle of the action, fighting for the city, for her life and the lives of all those she's grown to love. Oasis is a thrilling coming-of-age adventure set in a dystopian universe where personal freedom is almost non-existent and human values like friendship, love and creativity have all but been extinguished. Fast-paced, nuanced and sweeping in its vision, Oasis is an original and timely young adult epic
