I was interested in BASH for her because I want her to get into cyber security. Would a juvensalia book be good for a 10 year old?

Python is a great first language, and there is no shortage of beginning Python books aimed at young beginners. I've never read a juvenalia programming book, except maybe pre-Visual Basic BASIC with the line numbers and goto-s for me, but at 14 she may be a bit old for them and you might be OK with just a general audience "learn programming with Python" book. 

Why were you interested in BASH scripting?  BASH, or any shell script is not something I'd intentionally pick for someone's first intro to CS and programming.  Also, shell scripting languages tend to enforce no software architecture best practices and are full of footguns.I can see BASH being useful if you wanted her to maximize her responsibility for administering her own Linux personal machine ASAP.  There are beginner BASH scripting books, but I doubt there are any targeted to kids specifically.

Probably my favorite little tutorial on python is a byte of python https://python.swaroopch.com/

Though I do wish we had a good tutorial that taught good programming behaviors that wasn't ultra-specific to a task.
