Scarlet and Ivy: The Dance in the Dark – Sophie Cleverly

Scarlet and Ivy return to creepy Rookwood School for a third mystery adventure! With their evil headmaster safely out of the picture, life seems to be looking up — until their beloved ballet teacher suddenly disappears and the sinister Madame Zelda takes her place. Poison-pen letters circulate, strange "accidents" plague the students, and the twins are still desperate to uncover clues about their mother. Can they unravel the secrets before revenge strikes?

A tense, atmospheric, and gripping third entry described as one that "elevates the mystery with eerie ballet drama." Popular across middle-grade mystery and dark academia circles for its performing arts sabotage, poison-pen letter tropes, hidden family secrets, and sinister school atmosphere.

Ideal for fans of Robin Stevens's Murder Most Unladylike series, Katherine Rundell's The Good Thieves, or Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Book 3 in the Scarlet and Ivy series — Books 1 (The Lost Twin) and 2 (The Whispers in the Walls) are also available in store. A perfect 3-book mystery bundle!

A paperback (2016) in Good condition — light shelf wear, clean interior pages, firm binding.
