Bronwyn's Stand maybe? She has a high iq and uses her brain throughout, but it's not a 'she a genius' read if that's what you're looking for.
Graceling and sequelsMany of Tamora Pierce's books would also follow this pattern. Her books are loved by many gifted girls.

A Wrinkle in Time - the book that introduced many smart girls to the fact that this was OKHermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and series.
I have the irresistible urge to add Kiss of Fire to this thread, but I don't think it was about the h being super smart but she still saved the day... so maybe I'm mixing up my threads? If so, sorry, and ignore :/
Hillary wrote: "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie and series features a very smart girl."I second this recommendation. Flavia de Luce is an adorable, intelligent budding little chemist who has a habit of sticking her nose where it doesn't belong and solving the case because of all of it.

It can be anything from Young Adult, Contemporary, Fantasy. Any genre really, I like to read about heroines who use their brain for cool things.
Thanks
