This story is a great book for beginning readers who don't know the story of Joan of Arc. The illustrations go along great and keep you involved, like the maps at the end. I think some kids may lose interest because of some of the words. I really enjoyed the layout of this book, but I think this book needed more detail. Joan is a poor French country girl who heard Heaven speak to her. God told her to save New Orleans. She did things through God's love and fought for the city. She was burned at the stake for charges of heresy. ( )

Joan of Arc was a fearless woman who trusted in the Lord. She never disobeyed God in all of her life. She heard his voice and followed his will each and every day. Her main goal was to bring the french to battle and bring the king to Rheims to be crowned. She achieved both of those with strength, perseverance, and faith. She even had to cut her hair to look like a soldier to achieve this goal. She achieved what the voices asked of her. Later, she was killed because of her faith. Joan of Arc is a role model for me. I want to have the courage and faith to listen and hear God's voice when he calls me to do his will. I want to do his will with great passion and no hesitations. Joan will never be forgotten. Poole says on the last page of the book , "A saint is like a star. A star and a saint shine forever." ( )

Unlike the book I read previously of Joan of Arc's life by Ann Tompert, Poole's book read as a story book and moved in a much quicker pace. The author chose to not include the dates of events within the story but as timeline at the end of the book. I enjoyed this book more that the previous book I have read because the authors way of writing help build suspense. I already knew of what was to come in the story but the author's choice of words and punctuation made me want to keep reading. ( )
