Edith Lavell

Edith Lavell was an American author known for popular series fiction for young readers. The information available in this search strongly links her name with The Girl Scouts Series and the Linda Carlton books, stories that mixed teamwork, travel, mystery, and adventure in a style aimed at girls and teens.

A Project Gutenberg edition of The Girl Scouts on the Ranch identifies her as the author of The Girl Scouts Series, which suggests she was active in the era when publishers issued long-running juvenile series under recognizable author names. Listings found during this search also connect her with titles such as Linda Carlton, Air Pilot and other books centered on capable young heroines.

Clear biographical details about her life beyond the books were not confirmed in the sources retrieved here, so the safest picture is of a writer remembered mainly through her energetic series novels rather than a well-documented public biography.
