I lived in Quebec city for a long time. Fabulous place to visit, especially if you're interested in history, as it was one of the most important strongholds in North America for a very long time. It's a really beautiful place, lots of interesting architechture, and very tourist-friendly - you can get along quite well in English in the old (fortified) part of the city, and there's lots to see on foot. Two economical places to stay would be the YWCA (not sure about the 12 yr old, but you can call) and the Motel Doyon, which is actually only a couple of blocks from the Y. They're on a direct bus line to the Old City, or you can walk there in about 45 minutes. I used to live in the neighbourhood where these accomodations are located, and it's quite safe, even at night.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I'm always only too happy to extol the virtues of my adopted home.
