Summary "The Secret of the Old Mill" by Franklin W. Dixon is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows Frank and Joe Hardy, two teenage brothers who are aspiring detectives, as they uncover the mystery surrounding a strange old mill that has recently been reopened. Their journey begins with a series of unexpected encounters, including counterfeit money and suspicious characters. The opening of the story introduces the Hardy boys as they wait for their father at the Bayport station, where they inadvertently become victims of a counterfeit scheme. After exchanging a five-dollar bill with a charming stranger who is in a hurry, they learn of the bill's illegitimacy, which sets the stage for their investigation. As they interact with various townsfolk, including Mr. Moss at the local store, the boys' curiosity about the mysterious events surrounding the counterfeit money deepens. This mixture of adventure, excitement, and the promise of danger forms a compelling backdrop that engages the reader while hinting at the many challenges Frank and Joe will face as they solve the mystery.
