From my long ago childhood, my first brush with fantasy: The Weirdstone of Brisingamen and The Moon of Gomrath by Alan Garner. These are from the early 60's so Susan isn't quite what she would be if the books were written within the last 20 years. But damn, I loved those books, and always wanted a third one where Susan learned to control the "old magic" of her bracelet and Colin, her brother, got to a wizard.
Also, Jane Drew from The Dark is Rising Sequence. (If you've seen The Seeker: The Dark is Rising, expunge it from your memory.) Will Staunton is the character the books revolve around, but Jane is a strong character in Over Sea, Under Stone, book 1, Greenwitch, book 3, and Silver On the Tree, the sixth, and last book of the series. This series can be read by adults too, though the first book is much "younger" than the others.
