A book which has the ability to drag you into its inner story, makes you feel one of its characters that is must be a successful work of the author. This book has covered this aspect wonderfully, especially during this Christmas season.'The Age Of Not Believing' makes me nostalgic about my childhood Christmas experience and gave me a short but wonderful journey of magic. I love Thomas and the writer has done a great job creating this character. At that age, most of were like Thomas-driven by emotions, were impulsive, felt guilty and then made it fare as soon as we can. I would like it more if the book has more pictures. I love those which have already been there. The cherry on the top would be if there was a Santa clause at Semder. If I were at the age of not believing then I would enjoy this book more. Still, this book covers the children as well as the almost young adult readers expectation fully.This book has a huge possibility to teach the real meaning of Christmas to everybody and that is the most powerful side of this story. I think every child will want to go back to their age of not believing and sender after reading this book.

A beautiful christmas tale for children.

Thomas is transported right before christmas in the land of Sendmar where he meets Daniel. All the kids in the land do not believe in the spirit of christmas because of a witch cast a spell on them. They need someone who still believes to conquer and destroy the spell.

Lovely story with coloful illustrations. A short story with adventure and a message to make anybody smile.
