The Age of Not Believing- A Christmas Tale by Andrew R. P. Szlachetko

5.0

The Age Of Not Believing is a beautifully written Christmas story which can be enjoyed by youngsters as well as adults. Well-crafted characters, imaginative world-building that book is a real gem.
The main character, Thomas, is at the age when magic of Christmas starts to fade, Santa is just a funny man with a beard and your friends opinion of you becomes everything. Thomas still wants to believe but is scared of being laugh at for being a 'baby'.
On Christmas Eve night Thomas awakens to calls for help and finds himself transported to a magical land of Semdar. Semdar's been cursed by cruel witch and the children of that land stopped believing in the magic of Christmas. Thomas might just be its only hope of breaking the curse.
Well-paced with an interesting plot and a lot of warmth The Age Of Not Believing is bound to put you in a Christmas mood. Highly recommended!
