"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.
