Scarlet And Ivy (1) - The Lost Twin

In **Scarlet and Ivy: The Lost Twin by Sophie Cleverly**, a gothic-tinged **middle grade mystery** meets classic **boarding school** intrigue, with secret friendships, hidden clues and a deliciously ominous atmosphere.

When Scarlet, the bolder of the twins, vanishes from Rookwood School, her shy sister Ivy is summoned by the formidable Miss Fox and told to step into Scarlet’s life. Ivy agrees for one reason: to find out what happened. Back in the echoing corridors and strict routines of Rookwood, she follows a trail of torn diary pages tucked into unlikely hiding places, each one bringing her closer to Scarlet’s last days—and to the unsettling rules the school seems built on.

Perfect for readers who love **puzzles**, everyday bravery, and suspense that creeps in quietly, this is a smart, addictive start to a much-loved children’s series.

Add it to your basket and let Rookwood’s secrets pull you in.
