Need help finding a book please!

[Stephanie]

I'm trying to remember the title of a book I read in the mid/late '90s. It's probably a mid-grade reader.
If I'm not mixing up stories, it's about a girl who works/volunteers at either a historical society or an art gallery. She ends up fascinated by this one decorative bowl, remembering a lot of details about it, so she realizes when it's replaced with a forgery. She discovers that one of her co-workers is the guilty party, & that co-worker goes after her.

I believe that the organization she works for also did some kind of living history thing, because there's a point where the main character pretends to be Joan of Arc as some sort of performance they put on.

Sorry if the details are a little scattered, but any help would be appreciated!

I don't know what book that may be, but it sounds quite interesting! :D

Hey guys!! How are you?? Does anyone know of a book similar to Inkheart (or the rest of the series for that matter) in the theme of the fire juggling and fire itself? Anything similar to Dustfinger, if you know what I mean. I would prefer it to be adult or darker than Inkheart if that's possible! I've been looking for something like that but I can't find it!!

Thank you <3

I think you are looking for the never ending story by Michael Ende, which is originally in German
