We're currently reading Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson to Delia. There are four books in the series (the last one has an incredible cliffhanger, so I advise waiting to read it until book five comes out). The books are funny.
You might also try Larklight by Philip Reeve. It's a Victorian era setting in which the British Empire extends into space. The main character is a boy, but his sister gets some chapters. She's a little difficult to read because she has decided ideas about how girls and women are supposed to behave, and having adventures isn't part of it (there are other female characters who have a quite different attitude). There are two sequels, and the series seems to be complete.
I'll think about it overnight and see if I can come up with some other, better suggestions.
