From the Inside Flap:
A lovely beginning reader that brings the story of Joan of Arc to life, from her simple childhood to her tragic end. Sensitively and dramatically told, this book is a wonderful introduction to what has become a classic tale.
From Booklist:
Gr. 2-3. Part of the Step into Reading series, this picture-book biography will hold newly independent readers with the exciting action about Joan, a young farm girl who listened to the voices sent by God, led her country into victory in battle, was burned at the stake by her enemies, and was named a saint 500 years after she died. That's a lot of history to fit into a short book, and the narrative's switch back and forth in time may be confusing for less skilled readers. But the heroic story makes a great read, even for older-elementary students, and Andreasen's active line-and-wash illustrations capture both the battle hero on horseback and the child alone. REVWR
