The Daring Twins is a short mystery series by L. Frank Baum, published under the pen name Suzanne Metcalf in 1911 and 1912. The series follows twin siblings who get mixed up in mystery and intrigue, starting with The Secret of the Lost Fortune and continuing with Phoebe Daring.
Like many of Baum’s non-Oz works, the Daring Twins books are less well known today but offer an interesting look at the author’s range beyond fantasy. These are grounded stories about clever young people solving mysteries, written during the same period Baum was producing his more famous Oz novels.
