Scarlet and Ivy - the dance in the dark by Sophie Cleverly was a pretty good book that I definitely enjoyed. I liked the plot twists and the many mysteries. I also liked it because the vocabulary is fairly simple making it easy to read. It picks off where the last book (Scarlet & Ivy - The Whispers in the Walls) left off. Mr. Bartholomew's secrets revealed... Scarlet & Ivy's mother a mystery... Sounds at night... Thefts... Accusations... More unfortunate events... Who is behind these evil acts?? Follow the story as Scarlet & Ivy uncover truths, solve mysteries, and plunge themselves into another adventure filled with danger... (Malena. Grade 8)
