Here’s what some readers are saying about Lion Heart and Alessio, a children’s Christian fiction book….

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.

—Karen Henriksen
Admissions Director, Academy at Foxborough

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.

—Ron and Pat Worrell
Youth Group Leaders

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

—Nancy Begley
Principal, Kona Christian Academy

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!

—Suzanne Field, KC
Author of The Painted Table

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

—Jean M. Hartley
Director of Disabled Adventures Hawaii

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?”

—Bill Barley
Senior Pastor, Living Stones Church

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!

We read your book and we loved it. I can’t wait to hear the next book 🙂 I thought it sounded cool when the battle of the discerning spirits happened. I love that part. I love the characters: Auntie Mae, Jed, Mak, Uncle Hap, Ruthie, Roxy, and Quicksilver. Those are my favorite characters! You are the best book writer EVER!!!! P.S. I enjoyed your visit in November.

This book is great for kids. I am 12 which is on the older side and i still loved it! The book is humorous and really lets you come to know God. I think kids will really be able to relate to the story with either skateboarding or how their family acts.This was a great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
