She's 17 by now if that helps.
But seriously, we all have different tastes. I don't have a problem with a children's series having a protagonist who is both young and more resourceful, more lucky, more determined and a bit more skilled than your average child.
Young protagonists in children's adventure books have
always been more resourceful, more lucky and more skilled than your average child, and pre-teen children defeating bad guys (including adults) in children's books isn't exactly a new or unusual development.
It happens to be my favourite current series (and yes, I'm an adult), but then, I always liked children's adventure stories with resourceful children defeating the bad guys.
