Question: French magazine for 10 yr old girl?

Christmas gift help - I want to get my cousin's daughter a subscription to a Quebec or French magazine. She's 10 and a half years old, likes to read a lot, and has been in French immersion since kindergarten. Does anyone know of any french language magazines that would be good for her?

I was in French immersion until grade 5, when I moved to the States. I remember reading a lot of good magazines from this company, they make the English language magazines Owl, Chickadee, etc.

Now you just need to figure out whether to get her a magazine focusing on reading, science, culture...

Does she like science? I was a huge fan of Les Débrouillards when I was her age. You can subscribe via Bayard Jeunesse. (They also seem to have a variety of other kid's magazines too that might be worth looking into.)

I loved Wapiti at that age. It's a French wildlife magazine for kids.

Thank you all for your replies - I will probably go with Les Débrouillards.
