Megan’s writing certainly relates well to her audience. She is able to communicate strong Christian truths through a story that youth find appealing and exciting. It causes students to think about what they can do to impact the world for Jesus.

Having been youth leaders for over forty years we feel this book’s approach in presenting the gospel to tweens is exactly what is needed in todays world.

What a fun, delightful read for preteens! The characters and their adventures were exciting and most importantly, loved God. I highly recommend this book.

The Victory Ride is nothing short of high air in the half-pipe for boarders— but even if you don’t know a switch stand from a kickflip, Megan Chapman’s zany LOL cleverness mixes with poignancy to land it a fun read for all—and a best seller! Its message is no fakie either!

Clever, contemporary, compelling. Powerful biblical message told in today’s sports vernacular. Megan has a gifted ear for colorful dialogue and comic situations.

In “The Victory Ride,” Megan Chapman introduces readers to the winsome duo, Lion Heart and Alessio, in an adventure that is fun, fast, and full of Jesus. It’s a well written tale in which the supernatural flows naturally and  the plot moves smoothly, resolving most of the questions that keep the reader turning the pages. The only question with which she leaves readers struggling: “When will the sequel be released?”

Megan Chapman is the most creative writer! Her plots are packed with surprises and her dialogue is laugh out loud funny. She’s got the whole skateboarding thing DOWN! Kids are gonna love reading about these charming characters! Shoot! Adults will too! Highly entertaining but packed with wisdom and truth too. This book is the total package!

I have had the pleasure of reading Lion Heart and Alessio: The Victory Ride with my fifth grade class this past year. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a lighthearted (and Lionhearted) adventure with strong moral themes. This is a book that makes you think about faith while engrossing you in a story filled with colorful characters, including the title duo, a pair of very likable and memorable young lads. It is a story of faith and hope and of courage and conviction. Without giving anything away, I will say that I so totally am looking forward to the next rad adventure with these dudes!
