Tiffany Aching, from Terry Pratchett's The Wee Free Men, and it's two sequels. Tiffany is nine and when her brother is attacked by Green Jenny, a fairie water monster that shouldn't exist, she looks Jenny up in a book, makes a plan, stakes her brother out as bait and wallops Jenny with the largest cast iron frying pan she can find.
She only gets more awesome, but is still a flawed human child, as the books progress.
