Wild Geese Flying

Found the hardcover with dust jacket for $2...definitely worth grabbing! I'm looking forward to this story...

A little gem, mostly forgotten. It's a children's book from almost sixty years ago, and tells the story of a young family who goes to live in the house their grandfather left to their mother while their father is in South America. The story mostly focuses on the adventures of the two boys, with their mother taking a large role and their two little sisters a small one. They make friends in the new town, but for the most part the adults are standoffish and seem to resent their coming. There's a mystery about some investments their grandfather made before his death, and the town seems to hold it against them. Can they win the heart of the town, or must they fly away in the spring like the wild geese?
