Applespider, in my very limited experience I can ride a flat bar 47cm bike, but couldn't do that with drops. I'd have to go a size lower with a compact bar/levers and, maybe, a shorter stem.
See if you can find road bikes in a XS or 43/44cm: Trek do them in their 1.2 and, I think, their women's Madone models. Or you could try a Fuji Ace road bike, but that comes with 650c wheels which you might not like.
If you scan the Evans cycles site, they have a range of kid's road bikes that could be a starting point, if you can get them to order one in for you to try.
Right now, I've got the Luath small, Fuji Ace and a Brompton on my list of 'want's'. Two out of three by the year's end - objective.
