About this book
France faces an uncertain future as Jean de Novelpont and his companions discuss the English advance and their own king's indecision. Into this anxious world comes news of a village girl who believes she has been called by God to restore her country. Evelyn Everett-Green presents Joan of Arc through Jean's account, beginning with the questions and doubts that greet her claim at Vaucouleurs.
Written as historical fiction for young readers, the book brings religious conviction into the company of soldiers, nobles and clergy. In the scenes at Orleans, Joan carries her white banner, seeks a meeting with an English commander and leads her companions out to protect an arriving army. Her concern for the lives of enemy soldiers sits alongside her determination to act. Readers interested in Joan can follow how courage, faith and public trust take shape in encounters between a village girl and men accustomed to command.
