The Lost Girl by Anne Ursu
3.0
As an adult, I love kids' books. This one, though, is better-suited for children themselves. I found myself agreeing with the twins' mom and becoming very irritated at how stubborn the girls (especially Iris) were acting. They act like being separated into different class is the end of the world, and as an adult, I agree that was the best thing for them.
Tags show this as a fantasy, but the magic doesn't show up until much later in the story. We spend half the narrative in a realistic school setting with some strange (though not unexplainable) occurrences. Suddenly, magic! The author could have blended the magic more into the story, so it didn't feel so out of place.
