New children’s book from St. Louis creators delivers laughter, mischief, and a heartfelt
lesson in teamwork—just in time for the holidays.
ST. LOUIS, MO — October, 2025 — Local author and blogger Richie Williams and his son
Alex Williams are back with the third installment of their beloved Mischief Night children’s book
series, Mischief Night 3: The Christmas Beard Blunder. The new story takes readers on a wild
winter adventure as Tim and Lucy head to Santa’s workshop, where a little holiday “help” turns
into big-time mischief.
The Mischief Night series, known for its playful storytelling and imaginative humor, follows two
curious kids whose love of fun often leads to magical mayhem. In Mischief Night 3, the duo fills
in for two of Santa’s elves—but when mischief gets the better of them, Santa’s beard becomes
the unexpected victim of their holiday hijinks.
“This one might be our funniest story yet,” said Richie Williams. “Writing it with my son has been
such a great way to spark creativity and laughter together. We wanted to give families a story
that makes them laugh, especially around the holidays.”
The Mischief Night series has become a seasonal favorite among families who love stories with
a mix of humor, adventure, and heart. Each book is written and illustrated by the Williams duo,
blending storytelling with creativity and imagination.
Mischief Night 3: The Christmas Beard Blunder is now available on Amazon.
