Praise for Oasis

‘This futuristic sci-fi echoes Margaret Atwood and yet was written by a 16-year-old from Galway. Expect great things from this young, brilliant writer,’ Image.

‘A high-paced page-turner that holds its own against any of the big names working in the YA Genre … Eilís is an intellectual powerhouse’, Irish Mail on Sunday.

‘An assured dystopian debut. On the promise of this page-turning debut, the sequel will be worth waiting for’, Sunday Business Post.
‘Extraordinarily engaging … Eilís is dazzlingly bright and articulate’, Irish Examiner.

About the author

Eilís Barret is 17 and hails from Galway, on Ireland’s west coast, where she shares a home with her mother, three brothers and her dog, Rosie. Passionate about all things literary, she can usually be found reading or writing stories filled with action, adventure and true love.

At the age of 15, Eilís signed a two-book deal with Gill Books. She has since spoken at Eason’s inaugural Irish YA convention and was honoured by Irish Tatler as a Future Maker, one of the young women they believe have the brilliance to shape the next era. Eilís’ debut YA novel, Oasis, was published in March 2016. The sequel to Oasis will be out in 2017, and after that … who knows!
