The August Island Society of Young Detectives

To all my friends in listening land, welcome to Episode Two of the August Island Society of Young Detectives, in which our heroes enter the deep dark woods.

I am your host Oosh Sinclaire.

In the second installment of this tale, all your questions will be answered regarding those missing Sweet Tea Cherry Tomatoes and the aggressively unapologetic Red Truck that nearly ran into Lucy at top speed. I will tell you, this is only the beginning. Lucy and Seven don’t know the adventures on which they’re about to embark. They may be kids, but like Lucy says, they're not as little as they look.

We will dive into Chapters 6 thru 10 and by the end... well, I'm not gonna give it all away now.
