If she's a bit technically inclined, Jules Verne is an obvious choice - though I didn't read them in French, his books absolutely fascinated me as a child.
Based on your previous choice, I suspect she's much too young for Flaubert? His writing is marvellous.
On the other hand, avoid Malot and his ilk - it's just depressing stuff.
