You've probably heard of Joan of Arc... She's dead famous for:
-leading the French army into battle, going up in smoke when she was burnt at the stake, being an absolute saint.

But have you heard that Joan:
-was always having to prove she wasn't a witch, loved writing cheeky letter to very important people, made the King of France look like a complete coward.

Yes, even though she's dead, Joan's still full of surprises. Now you can get the inside story with Joan's secret diary, read the news that set France ablaze in "the Gallic Globe", and find out exactly how a teenage girl gave an entire army its marching orders.
