About The August Island Society of Young Detectives
"Extremely fun and heartfelt... we can't stop listening!" The Kluxen brothers (ages 9 & 13) --Asbury Park, NJ.
I found the handwritten pages of this true cozy-adventure-mystery story after it washed onto the shore of August Island, NJ. There is no author listed. Written for ages 9-135, I am hoping you can help me figure out who wrote it while solving the mystery along with the Young Detectives.
SYNOPSIS: When twelve-year-old Lucy and her fellow Young Detectives are hired to find a kidnapped pet parrot of unknown origin and incredible linguistic ability, the pack of friends uncover ancient legends of August Island, and soon discover the mystery stretches far beyond a missing bird.
My name is Oosh Sinclair, August Island resident and your narrator. If you have any information about who wrote this book, please email me at whowroteaugustisland@gmail.com
"It quickly became my favorite bedtime story and mystery novel." R. Brady (age 10) -- Bronx, NY
"This modern day mythic adventure captures the joy and wonder of our Island home beautifully and my kids adore it. It's like a modern fairytale. " J. Lippart (age 43) -- August Island, NJ

I saw the words printed: “Give me a read.” I got it down, opened it, and inside was the first chapter of book 2. Written by whom? Well… we still don’t exactly know… perhaps we’ll figure it out together. So without furthe...
