"David Elliott explores how Joan of Arc changed the course of history and remains a figure of fascination centuries after her extraordinary life and death in a fiery, evocative novel-in-verse."--Provided by publisher. In medieval poetic forms, the voices of the people and objects in Joan of Arc's life-- her family, the trees, clothes, cows, and candles of her childhood-- explore issues such as gender, misogyny, and the peril of speaking truth to power. Before Joan of Arc became a saint, she was a girl inspired. Discover that girl. -- adapted from Goodreads.com info
