Set in the 1930s at Rookwood School - a creepy boarding school with plenty of dark secrets - the books follow twin sisters, troublesome Scarlet and quiet Ivy, as they investigate the disturbing mysteries that lurk behind closed doors. Surprisingly, Scarlet’s behaviour was really different in this book😶 She wasn’t cruel towards Ariadne anymore …..that was a relief❤️ And Ariadne was way too smart…and I loved her surprise entry!!!! olan 1. kitaptan sonra hemen 2, 3, 4, 5 ve 6. kitaplarını arka arkaya okumak. Bunu gerçekleştireceğim ve bütün sırların arkasında ne olduğunu öğreneceğim. Umarım siz de bu serüvende bana eşlik edersiniz :) Scarlet, Ivy, and their friends get to go on a week-long residential trip to a countryside hotel by the edge of a reservoir, but Rookwood’s mysteries are determined to follow them. The legends surrounding the town drowned beneath the reservoir seem to be coming true, and is there more to one of their friends than she is letting on? There are only three US covers for Scarlet and Ivy due to Sourcebooks no longer wishing to print the rest of the series. [1]

But faced with the pure evil Miss Fox and group of girls with a mysterious grudge against Scarlet, Ivy's hunt for her sister leads to an unavoidable question: Is her twin really dead? Ahhhh! This was such a BRILLANT book💕 The story was gripping and there were many twists throughout the book❤️ It is a mystery middle grade and I relished reading it!!!❤️ It was super fast paced!!! When the girls get the chance to audition for a theatre show of ballet Sleeping Beauty, the girls are excited but Scarlet more so as she wants the main role of Aurora so starts getting secret lessons after class with Miss Finch to improve. So when her teacher disappears mysteriously, a new teacher, Madame Zelda, shows up randomly and something seems off, just where is Miss Finch? Evetttt, karşınızda bu senenin okuduğum en heyecanlı, güzel, gizemli ve maceralı kitabı karşınızda! Bir solukta okudum. Sözü fazla uzatmadan özetime geçiyorum. Ha bu arada bu serini 6 kitap (Kayıp İkiz, Duvardaki Fısıltılar, Karanlıktaki Dans, Gölün Altındaki Işıklar, Mum Işığında Lanet ve Son Sır) olduğunu unutmayın! So Ivy now has to take on a great challenge. Scarlet and Ivy are like day and night, like chalk and cheese. But she has to remember all of her memories of Scarlet, otherwise she'll be in trouble. One day, she discovers a diary, Scarlet's, which tells her, bit by bit, the mysteries Ivy desperately wants to solve. Why did Scarlet die? Why did she obey Miss Fox?With evil headmaster, Mr Bartholomew, safely out of the picture, life is looking up for Scarlet and Ivy. I still can’t believe what happened in the end😨🥶 The end literally gave me goosebumps!!! The end….no…the whole book, was gripping😁 I loved this book even more than the last two ones!!! I loved this book. It was so creepy but cool at the same time, with a lot of unexpected plots- which you can never guess! I was pleased to find that the twins meet their aunt, Aunt Sara. They find out the truth about their mother as well. Different covers were made for the UK releases due to people mistaking Scarlet and Ivy as a fantasy series rather than a mystery one. [2] So yes, big mystery. It’s the best kind of mystery writing too, the kind where, if you pay close attention, you can figure it out yourself, instead of waiting for it to be explained. I felt more and more engaged with each clue as I tried to beat Ivy to the metaphorical punch.

The girls also have to find out more about their mother after they believe she covered her past self by using a fake name and finding out they have an aunt right by them in this town! But when their favorite teacher suddenly leaves, strange Madame Zelda takes her place. Then poison-pen letters begin to circulate and 'accidents' plague the school. Is someone out for the ultimate revenge?

When the shy Ivy's rebellious twin sister Scarlet dies of influenza at the creepy Rookwood boarding school, Ivy is forced to "take her place" in secret. Determined to find out if her sister really did die of influenza, Ivy needs to keep up her act of the minx, to do this though she has to find all the missing pieces of her sister's diary. As for Rose’s character, she is quite different to the other girls—she is very shy, she struggles with speech and learning (often being selectively mute), and has a special interest in horses. Her differences wouldn’t be well understood in those days, but I wanted to show that she could be an important part of the group, too. The first unputdownable mystery in the thrilling and bestselling SCARLET AND IVY series, perfect for fans of MURDER MOST UNLADYLIKE, SINCLAIR’S MYSTERIES and THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL. This has a VERY satisfying ending, but with an ‘opening’ that makes you want to read on by CHOICE! (a different kind of thing altogether) WARUM WOLLTE ICH ES LESEN? Ich bin ja schon seit langer Zeit ein Fan des Imprints You & Ivi und habe schon einige Bücher davon zu Hause. Nur bisher nicht gelesen! Das Geheimnis von Rookwood klang so toll, dass ich es auch direkt lesen musste. Ich liebe Internatsgeschichten

The setting of an English all-girls boarding school also allows for a wide range of female voices to be heard. In fact, across the whole series, the number of male characters with speaking parts can almost be counted on one hand compared with the dozens of female characters—I’m pretty sure the series would actually fail a reverse Bechdel Test until the final installment. SC: I am definitely more like Ivy, I think. I am quite shy and bookish but have the occasional urge to have fun and go on adventures! But I have to say that Scarlet is my favorite twin to write as I sort of live vicariously through her. She isn’t afraid to stand up for herself and loves getting in all sorts of trouble.I enjoyed this book but would be better starting with the first book in the series and working my way to this one. I would've liked more dance including in the story as the cover and title are a bit misleading but there was a good continuing mystery to the story of Scarlet and Ivy. The Scarlet and Ivy series just gets better and better. In this one (book 3), Scarlet is determined to star in the school ballet, and a lot of clues about their mother. But then Miss Finch disappears and is replaced with a new teacher. 'Poison letters' are being sent to everyone, and 'accidents' are striking in the most unexpected times. Who's doing this?

The idea for Scarlet and Ivy came to Cleverly during a writing exercise at university. She’d been asked to imagine a character returning to a room they hadn’t been in for a long time when she’d visualised two beds, one girl and the remnants of a diary. Inspired by films, music, video games and her favourite authors, including Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, Cleverly’s Scarlet and Ivy series weaves classic themes of family, friendship and adversity into each mysterious tale.

Three more spine-tingling mysteries for Scarlet and Ivy to solve in the creepily atmospheric Rookwood School… But the old hotel and the waters of the lake reservoir are covering up dark secrets. And when mysterious things start happening to hotel guests it seems that a malicious new threat is haunting the girls.
