I picked up a Pearson Pathfinder for my son last year.
It adjusts from 18" to 28" and has upgradeable limbs.
But, there arent too many Pearson dealers around here.
I got it on clearance at Ed's in Clio for $150.00.
The new Bear youth bow is supposed to have similar adjustability.
Also, Darton makes a very nice youth bow.
If you think she will like archery dont go with a cheapy. You'll end up replacing it in a year or two because of the lack of adjustability.

Look at the thread below started for someone's 6-yr. old. All the recommendations are there. There are several older threads also (I know, because I went through the same thing this past year for 5 & 8 yr. old boys.)

My son started with a Browning Micro Midas.
My daughter is shooting a PSE Deer Hunter. Both are good entry level bows.

I have had great luck with the bows from Browning. My daughter shoots a Micro-Midas (took first deer at 12 years of age), and my son still shoots a Micro-Eclipse. What was important to me was range draw length adjustments and draw weight adjustments. When I purchased these bows, Browning seemed to be superior. Since that time Darton came out with a youth model that looks pretty nice as well.
Good luck to you and your daughter. It will be excellent reading about her first deer and seeing the pictures.
