The Lewis Barnavelt series is a set of juvenile mystery fiction novels starring the fictional American boy Lewis Barnavelt.
The first three titles in the series were written by John Bellairs. Following his death in 1991, his estate commissioned Brad Strickland to write three more based on notes and manuscripts left by Bellairs. Strickland went on to write six more original novels in the series.
