The book I read is called The Terrible Two by Jory John and Mac Barnett.

The two main characters are Miles and Niles. The book is mainly about a kid named Miles who was a huge prankster at his old school but has to move to a new school in a very monotonous place called Yawnee Valley. Another bad part about Yawnee valley is that the school Miles is gonna go to already has a prankster and a really good one. The most exciting thing there is cows. They have a lot of cows!

The setting takes place in Miles’s school sometime around the time we’re living in.

One part that I really liked was the time when Miles and Niles formed an alliance after being prankster enemies. They would make huge pranks at each other but then they came together to make even bigger pranks but on other people. I would say that my favorite part was when Miles and Niles made the biggest prank in the history of pranks. That prank was to take all the cows in Yawnee valley and put them into the school. The Principal’s name is Principal Barkin and he is so mean. He has never canceled school ever and got so mad when he found out what happened to the school. But the prank was so good that he had to close school for the first time ever in Yawnee valley. Another hysterical part was when Niles tried to pie Miles when he opened his locker. The problem was Miles read his mind and switched with a different kid who hated pie. And he loved the pie and that is why it was so funny. An adjective I would use to describe Miles is creative. Creative because he thinks of the craziest pranks. For example he could be right behind you right changing your hair gel with glue. Another adjective I would use to describe him is independent. Independent because he does his pranks alone until of course him and Niles team up. The third adjective I would use to describe him is impressive. Impressive because he is a kid and thinks of these genius pranks and trust me it’s hard to make a really good prank like him.

I definitely recommend this book. It’s hilarious and gives you amazing ideas if you want to prank someone. This book is a little like the movie Home Alone because the ludicrous pranks.

I would give this book four stars which means I really liked it.

  1. I still have to read this one! Have you and Leah talked about it yet? I noticed she read it as well. (and nice use of ludicrous as well!)

  2. Oh. My. Gosh. Why haven’t I read this book? I like pranks! I just watched Home Alone for the first time in a long time. Your review makes me super excited to read this book.
