Book Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling authors Mac Barnett and Jory John comes The Terrible Two, the first book in a deviously funny series about fitting in, making your mark, and finding a friend where you least expect one.

"A double helping of fun and mischief." --Jeff Kinney, author, Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Miles Murphy is known for one thing and one thing only: pranking. He's the best prankster his school has ever seen.

So when he's forced to move to boring, cow-filled Yawnee Valley, he assumes he'll be the best prankster at his new school, too. There's one problem. The school already has a prankster--Niles--and Niles is good. Really good. Let the prank war begin!

Will Miles and his rival, Niles Sparks, become friends or foes? Readers in grades 3 through 7 enjoy zooming through the books in this series. These laugh-out-loud books have captivated young readers and prank enthusiasts alike.
