"Its plot didn’t stop running and had some amazingly emotion-filled action scenes. These scenes, in addition to others, made it easy to identify with each of the characters. It is remarkable how Michael J. Bowler is able to bring out the humanity in each of his characters, making them that much more believable. The Lance Chronicles remains a tremendously exciting and thoroughly thought-provoking series for teens and adults alike." —17-Year-Old Jotaf for LitPick
“Profound love—that of friends and brothers and sons and romantic partners—infiltrates this contemporary and mystical adventure series, that I once likened to an action-filled motion picture. And this constant presence of the characters’ selfless devotion to others is why the fourth novel of the series, And the Children Shall Lead, touches me so deeply and will stay with me for years to come." – Mia Kerick
“And The Children Shall Lead is as wild a ride as its series predecessors. Included are plenty of action, mystery, adventure, and even some US History. I highly recommend And the Children Shall Lead to all readers, to those who enjoy witnessing the thrill of the chase, human rights activism at work, and skillfully devised, witty slang-packed repartee amid courtly formality.” – Kristen
“The myth of King Arthur was always fascinating, but experiencing how he saw modern society and his determination to help today’s youth definitely altered my perspective on how our laws effect their lives. Arthur’s acceptance and understanding helped all the knights overcome their pasts to create a brighter future for everyone. Watching Lance’s growth from a homeless child to the strong, confident young man he became who brought hope to so many was inspiring.” – Teresa at Fallen Angel Reviews
“This superb continuation of Lance's story had me riveted as more than a few hours of sleep were lost as I had to continue reading to figure out what happens next. Wonderful writing, amazing characters who are distinct, unique individuals, well-laid out settings, heart-pounding action that makes sense, and a call out to society to stop messing up in how children are "handled"....this book has it all!” – Elnora Romness
