(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Michael Foreman. Despite modern-day scenes that bookend the story and the text's occasional lapse into the point of view of Joan's pet sparrow, this novel effectively brings the fervent heroine to life. Following voices that she believes convey messages from God, fifteen-year-old Joan takes control of the French army and leads them to victory. Liberally illustrated with large watercolors, the book incorporates Joan's actual words as recorded at her trial.
Reviewer: Anne St. John
