Jane Allen: Right Guard

Edith Van Dyne, or L. Frank Baum, is best known for creating the beloved "Wizard of Oz" series. However, under the pseudonym Edith Bancroft, she wrote a series of books featuring the character Jane Allen, a young girl who attends a boarding school and experiences various adventures. In "Jane Allen: Right Guard," the protagonist Jane Allen likely finds herself facing challenges and mysteries that she must solve, possibly with the help of her friends. The title suggests that Jane takes on the role of the "right guard," implying that she is responsible for protecting or defending something or someone. The Jane Allen series, including "Jane Allen: Right Guard," is part of the genre of girls' juvenile fiction popular in the early 20th century. These books often featured strong, independent female protagonists who navigated the trials and tribulations of adolescence while demonstrating courage, intelligence, and resilience.
