- Joan : a novel / by Chen, Katherine J.,1990-author.;
"1412. France is mired in a losing war against England. Its people are starving. Its king is in hiding. From this chaos emerges a teenage girl who will turn the tide of battle and lead the French to victory, an unlikely hero whose name will echo across the centuries. In Katherine J. Chen's hands, the myth and legend of Joan of Arc is transformed into a flesh-and-blood young woman: reckless, steel-willed, and brilliant. This stunningly-researched novel is a sweeping narrative of her life, from a childhood steeped in both joy and violence, to her meteoric rise to fame at the head of the French army, where she must navigate both the dangers of the battlefield and the equally treacherous politics of the royal court. For there are many who are threatened by a woman who leads, and Joan draws wrath and suspicion from all corners, even while her first tastes of fame, wealth, and glory leave her vulnerable to her own powerful ambition"--- Subjects: Biographical fiction.; Historical fiction.; Novels.; Joan, of Arc, Saint, 1412-1431;

- Clone High. [videorecording] / by KaBOOM! Entertainment,production company.; Nelvana (Firm),production company.;
The greatest minds of the world have been cloned and are now attending high school together. A secret government plan to dig up historical figures and clone them has worked. It is 16 years later, and the clones are now in high school. The five main characters are Abe Lincoln, an all around nice but naive guy who lusts after the school sexpot Cleopatra, who is dating the macho JFK. Also, Abe's two best friends are Joan of Arc, an angst ridden goth girl who is in love with him, and Gandhi, a none-stop party animal. Clone High bravely tackles challenging teen issues, such as sleep deprivation, catching ADD from toilet seats, the evils of litter, and having the guy you like not like you back the same way you like him. Will Abe get together with Cleo, or be thwarted by the handsome JFK? Will Joan finally get Abe to notice her? Who's to say?Canadian Home Video Rating: G.DVD, region 1, full screen (1.33:1) presentation; Dolby Digital stereophonic.- Subjects: Animated television programs.; Children's television programs.; Television programs.; Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, -30 B.C.; Gandhi, Mahatma, 1869-1948; Joan, of Arc, Saint, 1412-1431; Kennedy, John F.
