Scarlet And Ivy (4) - The Lights Under The Lake

In *Scarlet and Ivy (4) – The Lights Under the Lake* by Sophie Cleverly, the Rookwood twins trade school corridors for a summer getaway—only to find trouble waiting by the water’s edge. This is a fast-moving children’s mystery with a gothic feel, packed with secretive adults, unsettling rumours, and the kind of cliff-edge chapters that make “just one more” inevitable.

Rookwood’s special trip to Shady Pines Hotel on Lake Seren should be a treat, but the ageing lakeside resort has a past it’s keen to keep buried. When strange incidents begin to rattle the guests, Scarlet and Ivy start to suspect someone—or something—is working against them. Then there are the local stories: church bells ringing at night, and lights flickering beneath the lake, as if the water is hiding more than fish and weeds.

Perfect for middle grade readers who love boarding school adventures, spooky mysteries, secret histories and brave sleuths.

Add it to your basket and head back to Rookwood’s most chilling case yet.
