-- This latest entry in Barry King's The Ghost Nation Series invites young readers age 2-8 into a festive adventure in which Spog, a friendly little ghost, experiences his first solo journey to the human world on Christmas Eve. While helping bake cookies and preparing for Santa’s arrival, Spog discovers Santa stuck in a chimney and, with quick thinking and kindness, rescues him — earning a magical sleigh bell and leaving children wondering whether it was all a dream or a Christmas miracle.

King hopes that this new Spog adventure will be a popular gift for young children this holiday season. According to readings from the early literacy initiative Reach Out and Read, children who receive books and are read aloud to regularly are significantly more likely to demonstrate stronger language development and home literacy practices compared to children in homes without such support. Therefore, King hopes Spog will help create holiday reading traditions that help children build vocabulary, foster imagination, and establish positive associations with books.
Spog’s Christmas features themes of belief in Santa Claus, the joy of giving and sharing, family traditions, and the excitement of Christmas Eve. Readers follow Spog as he prepares for the holiday, helps his mother, discovers the unexpected challenge of rescuing Santa, and learns that true joy comes not just from receiving but from helping others. Written to be enjoyed by toddlers, preschoolers, and early readers, the book combines short, engaging text with vibrant illustrations. It is suitable for being read aloud at bedtime, shared in classroom storytime, or given as a thoughtful stocking stuffer.
Barry King has created The Ghost Nation Series to deliver gentle, imaginative stories that support early reading and family bonding. In Spog’s Christmas, he blends familiar holiday imagery with a charming ghost protagonist, showing that even in the most curious of scenarios, kindness and courage can light the way. Schools, libraries, and parents may find the book particularly suitable during holiday-themed read-aloud sessions or as part of early-reader collections.
With its publication date set for November 15, 2025, Spog’s Christmas arrives just in time to become part of holiday traditions and reading routines. Enthusiasts of classic Christmas titles who are looking to engage younger children with new storytelling will find that this latest title offers both heart-warming themes and accessible reading levels.
