The likeliest suggestion I can think of is the Theodosia series by R. L. LaFevers, a fantasy mystery series about a girl who senses curses in the museum where her parents work.
Fly by Night by Frances Hardinge or Coraline by Neil Gaiman might work.
Mara, Daughter of the Nile by Eloise Jarvis McGraw involves spying and political shenanigans in ancient Egypt, though that might appeal more the 11 year old.
