Scarlet And Ivy (3) - The Dance In The Dark

*Scarlet and Ivy: The Dance in the Dark* by Sophie Cleverly is a fast-paced children’s mystery set at a gothic boarding school, where secrets seem to gather in the corridors. After the trouble with Mr Bartholomew, Rookwood School finally feels safer under Mrs Knight—until a new threat creeps in.

Scarlet is excited for the upcoming ballet recital and the chance to shine, while she and Ivy keep searching for answers about their mother. But when their beloved teacher Miss Finch vanishes and the unsettling Madame Zelda arrives, the atmosphere shifts. Poison letters begin circulating, accidents multiply, and it becomes clear someone is orchestrating something far more dangerous than schoolgirl rivalry.

Perfect for readers who love detective stories, sinister school settings, twins with grit, and mystery books for ages 9–12—especially fans of *Murder Most Unladylike*.

Step back into Rookwood and see what’s waiting in the shadows.
