A one-day event bringing together creators & fans of audio fiction on June 14, 2026 in Boulder, CO.

The August Island Society of Young Detectives

Narrated cozy mystery

This show was at one time binge-ready, but now it's... not?

It may have switched to an "always on" status, or the creator may have stopped using Season Number and Episode Number values. Or they're inconsistent with their tagging, have removed episodes, or made other changes—intentional or not—leading to a less-than-perfect listener experience. And, if we're honest. It could be us. We might have listed the show too early, and episodes of the first season are still releasing.

Regardless, it's currently in a state that disqualifies it from being listed in our directory, as it's no longer binge-ready.

You may find more information and listening links at the show's official website.

Show synopsis

This show uses machine-generated voices

"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
