The Boston Jane book series is a trilogy of historical novels for young adults by Jennifer L. Holm. The books, set in the year 1854, center around the experiences of Jane Peck, a sixteen year old girl. In the books, Jane is asked to move from her home in Philadelphia to marry her childhood idol, William Baldt, who now lives on the frontier of the Northwest Coast. After traveling there, she eventually finds out that William was marrying her for land, but marries another girl because Jane took too long to come. The rest of the books center around her experiences living on the frontier with a group of smelly, tobacco spitting men in a flea ridden cabin and making friends with the native Chinook tribe, after deciding to stay on the frontier even after finding out William wouldn't marry her. The books take place entirely in Philadelphia and the fictional Shoalwater Bay, in the Washington territory.

The first book, Boston Jane: An Adventure, was published in 1999. The second, Wilderness Days was published in 2002. The third, The Claim, was published in 2004. The books have won the Parents Guide to Children's Media Award and the ALA Best Book for Young Adults award.
