My 9 year old shoots my marlin xt bolt action .22.
He shot the rascal a bit but we had major problems with misfires. I like that they are made to fit the kids but if they don't work well then the kids get frustrated.
I recommend you stay with the current rifle and teach her how to use a shooting stick (Primos). She can use it at current age and as she grows and develops, shooting stick can be used for heavier calibers later when the .22 is no longer too heavy. Alternatively, a Ruger 10/22 takedown with Magpul Backpacker stock is a good option weight wise.
Cooey Model #39. It's pretty accurate if my grandson's shooting is any judgement.
Don't worry about growing out of a small rifle.
I cut down a .22 Anschutz so it had an 18 inch barrel and a 12 inch length of pull for gopher hunting. It worked so well shooting out of the truck... you could scrunch up into any position and with a 6 power scope I hardly missed one out to 125 yards... you can always shoot a short stock, but too long is awkward.

There is nothing wrong with a Nylon 66, light weight and lots of back up bullet's.
I had a youth model marlin for the kids. Great little bolt action. Recently sold it tho, as the kids are now enjoying the 10/22. Have a collapsible stock with a lighter carbon barrel I put together in a take down model. They use it more than me now and I need to wait my turn. 50 yrd head shots on grouse, with a decent light leupold scope.
An idea for the stock, that also carries 2 extra magazines with you.
