Those are really crappy, honestly. I had a friend who bought one of those for her son, and it was so weak the arrows wouldn't even stick in the target. Plastic limbs...pretty much a toy.
We went thru several bows for my son. We started w/ one of the little fiberglass Barnetts...which beats the one you linked to, IMO. My son is 7, and doesn't have any trouble drawing a 15lb bow with enough oomph to stick arrows in the target. He's been shooting an old Ben Pearson Junior Jet fiberglass stick bow for awhile and he's still enthusiastic about the sport. It's got enough power to stick his arrows in the target and is accurate enough for him to hit his target when he focuses and watches his form.
If you're looking for an inexpensive way to get started, this would be a better starter kit than the sentinel:

Otherwise, if you think it'll be something she is going to stick with, invest in a good youth bow like this:

(16-20lbs, depending on how strong she is) and some inexpensive arrows:
