What about "The Magic of Reality" ?

It's the new book from Richard Dawkins, meant as an easy introduction to science. I have not read it myself yet, but it was recommended to me several times and I think it's aimed at a younger audience in the first place.

I will definitely read it. Maybe you should give it a shot.

"The Magic of Reality" is brilliant. I strongly recommend it. The rich illustrations make a huge difference.

I guess what I want is a kids version of "Intuition Pumps", in the style of "The Magic of Reality". I'd buy dozens of copies of that.

Would it be a good book for my 14 year old female cousin, who has attended an awful lot of religion classes?

Yes.
