«Dead Famous: Joan of Arc and Her Marching Orders» is Phil Robins' humorous biography, published by Hippo/Scholastic in paperback (208 pages, in English).
The book covers Joan of Arc's life in a light-hearted tone: leading the French army, having to prove she wasn't a witch, her cheeky letters to important figures, and her execution at the stake. It uses a supposed secret diary and a satirical newspaper to explain how a teenager gave orders to an entire army.
Published in 2002, it's a volume in the Dead Famous series with illustrations by Philip Reeve.
Aimed at readers aged 8 to 12; its mix of history and humor may also appeal to adults who read it in childhood.
