"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
