My stumper is a book that I loved as a kid though I don’t remember that much about it.   The main character is a little girl and her dad.  The little girl had lost her mother and I think I remember someone or some people were coming after the girl.  They go and stay with the little girl’s maternal grandmother and the grandmother teaches her the skill to read from multiple books at once. Which is a critical skill in the book.

Unfortunately that’s all I remember and I hope you can help me.
