I read a book called The Terrible Two’s by Mac Barnett and Jory John. The main characters’ names are Miles and Niles. Miles moves to a monotonous town called Yawnee Valley. It’s a quiet town and it’s known for one thing – cows. Miles hates it in Yawnee Valley and the worst part about moving there is he has to leave his school where he’s the class prankster and he’s good at it. At Yawnee Valley’s school he plans to be the new class prankster but they already have one. He wants to take the pranksters spot but the prankster that’s already at the school wants to make an alliance with Miles but he resists. When Miles finally wants to work with Niles (,the school prankster.) They plan to pull of the biggest prank Yawnee Valley has ever seen. The book takes place in Yawnee valley.
Some things in the book that I really liked were the way they improvised when they were in the middle of pranks. Like when Miles was trying to distract some teachers he already thought of how to distract them. He used cupcakes but one teacher was on a diet so he quickly improvised and added something that the teacher might be able to eat. Also they were competitive but they weren’t being rude at the same time like when Miles told Niles that he wasn’t trying to prank him hard enough he said it in a respectful way. They also did a lot of planning like Miles had a notebook and Niles had a closet where they kept their prank idea. Three adjectives I would use to describe Niles and Miles are troubleshooters, a little inconsiderate and a little mean. Troubleshooters because they are thinking their pranks through like when Niles thinks about how he’s going to make his next prank does a lot of thinking and troubleshooting. A bit inconsiderate because I don’t think they think about the other person feelings when they get pranked. Like when Miles tried taking Niles hard work and replacing it with something that might get him in trouble. They’re also a little mean because some of the pranks were over kill and might be a little dangerous like the first prank Niles committed in the book and and the prank they did at the end. It was really cool but dangerous.
I liked this book because it had cool prank like parking the principal’s car on the steps of the school. I also liked all the stuff about cows. I would recommend it to people that like pranks and like cows or even people that like competitive books. It was very unique and I haven’t read a book like it before. Miles kind of reminded me of Puck from the sisters grimm. I give it… four stars!
I love your book review.
Great job!
I love your book review, I am definitely going to read it.
Great job!
I still have to read this one! Have you and Landon talked about it yet? I noticed he read it as well.
Miles and Niles remind me of Kevin from the movie Home Alone. I haven’t read The Sisters Grimm so that is two books I will have to add to my list! The list is getting very long from reading all of these great reviews.
I really want to read it now! I wanted to read it before but now I really want to read it! Also I like cows.
I loved your book review! It was really funny. I’m going to read it! I liked how much you wrote about the pranks that the students played on the teachers. Just like Farin, I like cows.
