If recoil is a major concern and if the budget will allow, the very best rifle I could recommend is an AR-15 in 6.8 SPC or maybe 6.5 grendal.
They can be built for left or right handed shooters.
The recoil is so light that it's easy for 8 year old girls to handle it.
Accuracy with good barrels is as good or better then a lot of bolt actions.
If you have it made with a good trigger, the trigger pull is better than most bolt actions today.
You can use them as a single shot, or with 5 round, 10 round, or 25 round magazines.
They can be made with very light barrels and made to weigh only about 7 pounds.
If you'd like you can also have a 5.56 upper made so you can swap from a "coyote rifle" to a "deer rifle" in seconds, with no re-zeroing needed at all. Swap and go shooting.
If you make it with a telescoping stock it will fit her if she's 4 foot 7 inches, 5 foot 2 inches, 5 foot 8 inches or 6 feet tall. It fits about anyone.
The only down side to such a rifle is that they cost about $1100-$1200. But for a lifetime investment, that is not very much really.
