Scarlet and Ivy #1
The Lost Twin
This is the story of how I became my sister…
A spine-tingling mystery set in a creepily atmospheric boarding school. Ivy must uncover the secrets behind her twin sister Scarlet’s disappearance before it’s too late.
When troublesome Scarlet mysteriously disappears from Rookwood School, terrifying Miss Fox invites her quiet twin sister Ivy to ‘take her place’.
Ivy reluctantly agrees in the hopes of finding out what happened to her missing sister. For only at Rookwood will Ivy be able to unlock the secrets of Scarlet’s disappearance, through a scattered trail of diary pages carefully hidden all over the school.
Can Ivy solve the mystery before Miss Fox suspects? Or before an even greater danger presents itself?

I'm nearly 30 so I'm WAY out of the demographic for this book... HOWEVER... 10-13 year old me would have been just as excited for it because it had SO MUCH AWESOME, aka stuff I was and still am RIGHT INTO reading. Ballet! Secret diaries! Old timey boarding schools with midnight feasts! Mysteries! A horrible old teacher who was like a combination of Miss Havisham and Mrs Medlock! Creepy skeletons! And the most awesomely random, exciteable adorably nerdy and enthusiastic friend ever!
No matter how old you are, this is a fucking cool book and you should read it :D

BRAVO! Truly, a around of applause is owed to Sophie Cleverly and The Lost Twin. I'm well out of the age range that this book is aimed at, but I absolutely adored every bit of it! I can only imagine how much excitement younger Jessica would have had, upon discovering this story. So many things I love are expertly wrapped up in here. Forbidding boarding schools, terrible headmistresses, brave girls, and tons of secrets. What more could a reader ask for?
If you've been following me for any length of time, you'll know that one of the biggest points in any book for me is character development. In MG fiction, that's even more important. A character needs to grow, to change, and to find themselves in situations that cause them to step outside the box. Cleverly has that down pat. Ivy's character was brilliant. Quiet, meek Ivy learned so much about herself while posing as her much more outgoing sister, Scarlet. I loved watching her come out of her shell, and face down the danger. All for the love of her sibling.
Oh, and the mystery! Pardon my overuse of the word brilliant, but it truly was brilliant! The highest compliment I can extend to this story, was that it made me think of my love of Nancy Drew, as a young reader. The clues. The chase. I was head over heels for all of it. The fact that Cleverly gave Ivy the perfect little sidekick, and best friend, was just the icing on the cake. I couldn't love this story more if I tried.
As you can tell, I am a big fan of this story. The ending was just pure perfection, and I am so eager for more! I'm smitten with Ivy, and so excited to meet her sister. This series and I are going to get along just fine.

Being told that her twin sister Scarlet has died while away at school was without doubt the most horrible thing to ever happen to Ivy. Now the school invites her to take her sister's place - quite literally, as she only finds out once she has arrived at Rookwood. She is supposed to pretend to be Scarlet, imitate her down to the last detail and never ever let on that the real Scarlet is gone. What really happened to Scarlet seems more and more mysterious with this bizarre task, but some clues might lie in Scarlet's diary. The downside: Its pages are hidden all over the school, with only vague hints to guide Ivy through the scavenger hunt required to lay hands on them all - and each new page she finds only seems to add more questions to Ivy's search for answers.
Who doesn't like a good oldfashioned boarding school meets mystery story? While I'm definitely far out of the target group age-wise, that certainly didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying the book and looking forward to its sequel.

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
HAT ES MEINE ERWARTUNGEN ERFÜLLT? Ja, hat es! Ganz so hoch habe ich sie nicht geschraubt und erfüllt haben sie sich auch.
WAS HAT MIR GUT GEFALLEN? Ich liebe die Internatsatmosphäre und die Zeitlosigkeit der Geschichte. Ich habe nämlich tatsächlich erst später gemerkt, dass die Geschichte nicht in unserer Zeit spielt. Das ist bei so etwas aber auch nicht wichtig, da Internate sowieso Paralleluniversen sind oder? Die Geschichte und das "Suchspiel" waren super konstruiert und auch wenn man Vermutungen hat, konnte man so schnell nicht komplett durchsteigen. Und das, obwohl ich deutlich älter bin, als die eigene Zeilgruppe. Zu guter letzt finde ich Ivy auch super sympathisch. Ich habe sie beinahe sofort ins Herz geschlossen und da tanzt sie immer noch herum.
WAS HAT MICH GESTÖRT? Mich hat überhaupt nicht viel gestört. Tatsächlich war für mich einiges an mancher Stelle zu überspitzt dargestellt, was aber sicher auch mit der Art der Geschichte und der Zielgruppe zu tun hat. Darüber hinaus gab es die eine oder andere Stelle, die etwas kürzer hätte sein könne. Aber wie ich immer sage: Das ist schon wieder Meckern auf dem höchsten Niveau.
FAZIT. Das Geheimnis von Rookwood ist der Auftakt einer Reihe, den man auch sehr gut als Einzelband lesen könnte. Mir haben die Gestaltung der Geschichte, die Atmosphäre und auch die Protagonostin Ivy sehr gut gefallen und ich kann euch diesen Titel nur ans Herz legen, wenn ihr selbst auch Fans von Geschichten seid, die im Internat spielen und eine Prise Geheimnis in sich tragen. | ★★★★☆

ماجراهای مدارس شبانه روزی انگلیسی همیشه سوژه ی خوبی برای رمان نویسی بوده. از مجموعه های چندجلدی انید بلایتون تا هاگوارتز که تا احتمالا محبوب ترین مدرسه شبانه روزی جهان است. اما اگر کتاب «پسر»رولد دال را خوانده باشیم متوجه می شویم که مدارس شبانه روزی در واقعیت چندان جای دلچسبی نبوده اند.
ماجرای کتاب اسکارلت و آیوی هم در یکی از همین مدارس شبانه روزی نه چندان دلچسب می گذرد. اسکارلت بدون خواهر دوقلویش به این مدرسه رفته و آیوی پیش عمه پیرش زندگی می کند. چیزی نمی گذرد که به آنها خبر می رسد اسکارلت در مدرسه از دنیا رفته است، و معاون مدرسه به اجبار آیوی را به مدرسه می کشاند تا برای لاپوشونی مرگ اسکارلت جای او را پر کند.
آیوی بعد ازورود به مدرسه شواهدی می بیند، شواهدی که اگر آن ها را دنبال کند می تواند علت مرگ خواهرش را پیدا کند. همه لوازم برای یک داستان نوجوانانه آماده است، یک مدرسه، چند شخصیت نوجوان قابل درک، یک ماجراجویی و همه ی این ها در کنار هم باعث می شود که کتاب اسکارلت و آیوی رمان جذابی برای نوجوان ها باشد.
اگر بخواهیم کتاب را با رمان های محبوب نوجوان مقایسه کنیم احتمالاً می توانیم ایرادات زیادی در آن پیدا کنیم. حتی می توان گفت گره های ماجراجویی آیوی برای پیدا کردن علت مرگ خواهرش خیلی سهل و ساده گشوده می شوند. اما اگر مجموعه ی کتاب را در نظر بگیریم این ایراد ها به نظر ساده و قابل چشم پوشی می آیند. و مهم تر از آن نوجوان ها نگاهی تا این حد موشکافانه به داستان ندارند، صمیمت، همراهی، قابل درک و جذاب بود داستان برای آن ها کافی ست. و اسکارلت و آیوی این ویژگی ها را در کنار هم دارد.

(re-read) so good even the 2nd time.

امتیاز واقعی من: ۳.۵
من میخواستم یه مجموعه فانتزی جدید شروع کنم و این کتاب رو شروع کردم ولی تا اخر جلد یک که اصلا فانتزی نبود، فضای یه مدرسهشبانه روزی بود و همهچیز رئال پیش میرفت.😅
قصه درباره دختری بود که بهش میگن خواهر دوقلوت مرده و تو باید بیای جاش رو در مدرسه شبانه روزی بگیری و بهجای اون نقش بازی کنی! حالا این قل دوم میخواد از ماجراهایی که خواهرش در این مدرسه داشته سردر بیاره!
کتاب روان و خوشخوانی بود، در دو نشست یکساعت و نیمه خوندمش (دو نشست به فاصله یک ماه یا بیشتر😅)، کتاب پر از معما بود و بنظرم برای دانشآموزان متوسطه اول میتونه خیلی جذاب باشه.
بقیه جلدهاش رو هم میخونم؟
اگه قصه افت نکنه و مثل جلد اول باشه میخونم احتمالا!

Well, I wish there was a six-star option because this book was simply incredible.
Everything about it was perfect. The setting, the characters, the story, the style.
What a strong lead Ivy was, with Ariadne in toe. It made for a truly exciting, mysterious, and emotional journey. Will be buying and then reading the next one ASAP.

یک ستاره کم دادم به خاطر "آووووی!" هایی که اون وسط هی می گفتن و در واقع ضعف ترجمه بود!
ولی وو! چه کتابی بود! یک نفس خوندمش! (البته کار خاصی هم نبود چون بسیار ساده خوان بود!) و جلدهای بعدی رو هم به زودی سفارش می دم.

Wow! I've heard amazing reviews from my friends, but now I can understand why!
A so-called "dead" twin, hated classmates, hunting for diary pages?! It's all GENIUS.
After her twin's death (Scarlet's death), Ivy is sent to Rookwood (I think that's the name) to replace her twin... like, LITERALLY replace her. As soon as she sets foot in the school, she's now known as "Scarlet Grey", no matter how many attempts that Ivy had tried to deny it. She got Scarlet's room, uniform and even enemies! After finding her sister's diary, the hunt for the pages had begun...
Strict teachers, enemies, punishments, friends... will Ivy manage survive Rookwood or will she end up dead like her twin?
Thank you for the recommendation Gouri <3

That was a really quick read! I just read the whole thing in one sitting.
I really wanted to love this book, but it just wasn't happening for me. It was good, and I did like it, but it wasn't great, and I didn't LOVE it. I don't think I'll be buying the rest of the books in this series, and I might not even read them, although with that cliffhanger I might have to read the next one.
Overall, it was a fun little story that I'd probably recommend to older elementary/ middle school-aged kids.

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!!!
This book is about two twins -Scary and Ivy💕 In other words, it is about how Ivy, finds her lost twin sister. It started up sooo good and the ending was shocking. This book takes place in a boarding school (yay!) and there were many twists and turns. In this particular book, none of my predictions were true😂
I loved Ivy (the main charcater) and timid Ariadne very muchhhh❤️. I even loved the evil Mrs.Fox . She was a teacher but was a headmistress in this book because the headmaster was on a vacation😂There was an amazing plot twist too which shook me❤️❤️ This book was so GRIPPING!!!!!! I think that this series is going to impress me😂 The ending was a bit loose but I liked it😂
I RELISHED this adventure sooo much. Ariadne was really very timid at first but got bold by the end of the book❤️
I loved this book❤️
Go for it….

Ivy loved her twin sister Scarlet dearly. She was Ivy’s opposite. Where Scarlet was brave and confident and mischevious, Ivy was shy, did as she was told and didn’t like to cause any upset. The last time Ivy saw her twin was just before she left for an exclusive boarding school. Unfortunately Ivy hadn’t passed the entrance exams. Ivy is sad she’ll never see Scarlet again, after receiving news that she had become ill and passed away.
A letter arrives for Ivy telling her she can take Scarlet’s place at the school. Little does Ivy know she will be not only taking Scarlet’s place, but becoming Scarlet herself! She has to pretend to be her sister. Pushy, loud, feisty and even rude! Confused and scared of the imposing Miss Fox who has demanded this of her, Ivy settles in to Scarlet’s old room at the school, and discovers part of a diary from Scarlet. Something’s not right about all this, and Scarlet’s words prove it.
Ivy, while pretending to be Scarlet, navigates her way through classes, Miss Fox’s beady stare, a new personality and daily life at the school, whilst she follows the clues Scarlet has left behind for her.
Missing girls, angry rivals, secrets, ballet, and the constant fear of Miss Fox’s cane drive Ivy through this 1st story in this series. Set in a boarding school, far from home in the early 1930’s where past rivalries lurk under the surface, Ivy has no idea why some of the girls dislike her so much. What did Scarlet do or say to make them so angry? Why has she scattered her diary pages all over the school? What secrets is it hiding?
The Lost Twin is perfect for lovers of mystery, secrets and sisters. A boarding school, feuding girls, terrible teachers, midnight feasts and night time escapades, this series is definitely one to devour.

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!
Kitap ikiz olan Scarlet ve Ivy’le başlıyor ama bir sorun var. Scarlet ortada yok! Ivy’nin doğum gününde (yani Scarlet’in de doğum gününde) Scarlet ortadan kaybolmuştur. Scarlet, yani zeki olan ikiz kardeş çok iyi bir okul olan Rookwood Okulunda okuyordu. Fakat bir gün ortadan kayboldu! Ivy böylece babası onu istemediğinden de dolayı Phoebe Teyzesi ile yaşmaya başladı. Bir gün bir mektup geldi. Mektup Rookwood Okulundan müdür tarafından gönderilmişti ve Ivy’nin Scarlet’in yerine geçmesi gerektiği belirtilmişti. Ivy en başından bunda bir iş olduğunu anlamıştı ama Scarlet’in öldüğü düşüncesi ona bunların hepsini unutturmuştu bu yüzden Bayan Fox adında bir kadın (okul müdürü yokken yerine bakan kadın) onu almaya geldiğinde başka çaresi kalmamıştı. Rookwood Okulu hapishane gibiydi. Bayan Fox’un çok katı kuralları gece tuvalete gitmemeye kadar uzanıyordu. Ivy, Scarlet’in odasını keşfetmeye başladığında yatağında bir sertlik hisseder. Bu, Scarlet’i bulmak için tek şansı olabilir. Bir günlük...
Önemli 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 :)
Özellikle gizem sevenlere tasviye ederim.

وای-
من اینو سه هفته پیش یا شاید بیشتر تموم کرده بودم و یادم رفت ریویوش رو توی گودریدز بنویسمممجرکترکاز
اول می خوام بگم که من تا هری پاتر رو تموم کردم این بزرگوار رو شروع کردم و اصلا انتظار نداشتم شب تا ساعت چهار پنج صبح واسه ی خوندنش منو بیدار نگه داره😀💔
ولی وااای
من اینو با انتظار خیلی خیلی کمی شروع کردم و همون اوایل داستان وقتی فهمیدم چقدر معماهای باحالی داره سورپرایز شدم🤌🏻
البته شاید برای کسایی که کارشون خوندن کتابای معمایی و جنایی یه چیز سطحی باشه ولی منی که از این ژانر کتابای زیادی نخوندم به شدتتت ازش لذت بردم✨✨
و اینکه یه سری حدسا در مورد اتفاقی که برای اسکارلت افتاده زدم ولی اصلااا انتظار نداشتم که اونجوری باشه🙂( و منی که دارم تمام تلاشمو می کنم اسپویل نکنم😔😂)
و می تونم با قاطعیت بگم که وقتی تمومش کردم قشنگگگ مغزم رگ به رگ شد::)😂
دختر عموهامم وقتی تمومش کردم کنارم بودن و یکیشون پرسید ازش چی یاد گرفتی اون یکی گفت هیچی یاد نگرفته فقط می دونه جلد دومو می خواد😔😂
و ترکمزماژنلط دقیقااا همین بودد!
من این مدت انقدرر کتاب خریدم که نمی تونم جلد دومش رو بخوام ولی می خوام🙂😂🤌🏻
و خب اینکه از این کتاب و نویسنده اش به شدتتت ممنونم که منو از ریدینگ اسلامپ نجات دادن و ریا نباشه توی دو روز تمومش کردم💀😂
و چه شب هایی که خوابمو ازم نگرفت…
و در کل اینکه شخصیت پردازیش خیلییی خوب بود و فضا سازیش هم دوست داشتم و اینکه چرا پنی ها باید همیشه شخصیت بده باشن؟
توی سه تا کتابی که خوندم شخصیت بدش پنی بود😀😂
ولی خب در کل اگر دنبال یه کتاب می گردین که از ریدینگ اسلامپ نجاتتون بده زندگیتونو ول کنید و بشینید اسکارلت و آیوی بخونید:>
*وی به پایان جلد اول فکر می کنه و با خیره شدن به افق راه های خواستن جلد دوم اسکارلت و آیوی از خانواده رو بررسی می کنه😂👊🏻

دختر عموهامم وقتی تمومش کردم کنارم بودن و یکیشون پرسید ازش چی یاد گرفتی اون یکی گفت هیچی یاد نگرفته فقط می دونه جلد دومو می خواد😔😂
و ترکمزماژنلط دقیقااا همین بودد!
من این مدت انقدرر کتاب خریدم که نمی تونم جلد دومش رو بخوام ولی می خوام🙂😂🤌🏻
و خب اینکه از این کتاب و نویسنده اش به شدتتت ممنونم که منو از ریدینگ اسلامپ نجات دادن و ریا نباشه توی دو روز تمومش کردم💀😂
و چه شب هایی که خوابمو ازم نگرفت…
و در کل اینکه شخصیت پردازیش خیلییی خوب بود و فضا سازیش هم دوست داشتم و اینکه چرا پنی ها باید همیشه شخصیت بده باشن؟
توی سه تا کتابی که خوندم شخصیت بدش پنی بود😀😂
ولی خب در کل اگر دنبال یه کتاب می گردین که از ریدینگ اسلامپ نجاتتون بده زندگیتونو ول کنید و بشینید اسکارلت و آیوی بخونید:>
*وی به پایان جلد اول فکر می کنه و با خیره شدن به افق راه های خواستن جلد دوم اسکارلت و آیوی از خانواده رو بررسی می کنه😂👊🏻

This book... wasn't what I expected. I was a little disappointed.
What I missed most in this book was atmosphere. I feel like the school setting had a lot of potential that wasn't used. I never really felt like I was in the school, and it feels like it was hardly described at all. I wanted a bit more of the boarding school atmosphere I had hoped for when starting this series.
I also felt like the mystery was a bit weak. I know it's a middle grade book, so I can't be too hard on it. But I wasn't surprised by any of the revelations in this book. I think it could have done a lot more with the premise it had.
I'm going to give this series a go, because I really wanted to like this. But I didn't like this as much as I thought I would.

The fact that my 12 year old daughter listened to this with us is worth 5 stars alone. (Although I may have done a bit of begging.)
My 16 year old son's rating: 4 stars
My 12 year old daughter's rating: 5 stars
My 10 year old son's rating: 5 stars
I guess I'll give it 5 stars as well, since I can't complain... although I will say I was surprised at how mean and nasty some girls were, threatening to kill people, etc. But I suppose that's how it could be in real life! :-/

Stop omg Rookwood Boarding School will always live in my heart rent free. This was the best mystery book, or actual book, I’ve ever read- period. It has twin sisters, fake identities, letters, clues, betrayal and evil teachers lmao. What else could you want in a book- This whole series is literally so memorable and amazing. Read it rn.

This is a book that will definitely be enjoyed by young readers aged 10 and above. Includes a mystery about a missing twin, a boarding house life, school friends and foes and some adventure. Recommended if you have a 10+ years old reader at home who enjoyes such tales.

A bit boring at the start.
But really intense and emotional at the end

My October book which was one of the 12 books of different genres which I got for Christmas from my daughter. This was a great mystery, exciting and full of tension. The theme of finding yourself and becoming the person you were meant to be also fluttered through the pages.

August 28, 2024i keep thinking about this book series. I want to read something that is as entrancing as this book was. It’s been a long time, but I still love this book 😭😭
maybe it’s time for a re-read!

What a fun middle grade mystery, perfect for fans of Dominique Valentine's Starfell series, or Anna James' Pages & Co series.

داستان معمایی قشنگی داشت و فکر میکنم برای قشر نوجوان خیلی دلچسب تر باشه🙌🏼
