Summary "Dan Carter and the Money Box" by Mildred A. Wirt is a children's mystery novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around the titular character, Dan Carter, a young Cub Scout who, along with his friends, discovers a mysterious money box while involved in a series of adventures. As they engage with the local community and tackle various challenges, the boys find themselves unwittingly drawn into a mystery surrounding the box's origin and rightful ownership. The opening of the book introduces the Cub Scouts, focusing on Dan Carter and his friend Brad Wilber, who brave a storm to attend their meeting at the church. As they make their way through the rain, they encounter a suspicious stranger lingering by the church who questions them about the meeting. This tense moment sets the stage for the unfolding mystery, as the boys eventually discover the money box hidden in the coal bin of the church's furnace during their Cub meeting. Their excitement quickly turns to caution as they contemplate the implications of owning such a valuable find, leading them to decide to turn the box over to their leader, Mr. Hatfield, thus hinting at the adventures and challenges that lie ahead in their quest to solve the mystery surrounding the money box.
