Miles Murphy is not happy to be moving to Yawnee Valley, a sleepy town that’s famous for one thing and one thing only: cows. In his old school, everyone knew him as the town’s best prankster, but Miles quickly discovers that Yawnee Valley already has a prankster, and a great one. If Miles is going to take the title from this mystery kid, he is going to have to raise his game.
 
It’s prankster against prankster in an epic war of trickery, until the two finally decide to join forces and pull off the biggest prank ever seen: a prank so huge that it would make the members of the International Order of Disorder proud.
 
In The Terrible Two, bestselling authors and friends Mac Barnett and Jory John have created a series that has its roots in classic middle-grade literature yet feels fresh and new at the same time.

this book is really funny, if you have free time during the summer and you are into really funny book this is the perfect match.

This is the silliest book I have ever read. It is about two boys named Miles and Niles. Niles is the best prankster at Miles's new school. Miles was the best prankster at his old school but at his new school he was second best. Then they both had a bet: whoever won the best prankster bet was the prankster at school. Unfortunately Niles won and then Niles and Miles became best friends. Later on they started a club for just them (a pranksters club).

this is a really good book. if you like pranks, rival soon to be friends and cows then this is the book for you. Miles has always been known as a huge prankster, but that just might change when he finds that his new school already has a prank master.

Miles murphy is has two best friends and lives in a great town near the ocean. He also has a reputation as the best prankster, so he is not happy when he has to move to a new town, where they are famous for their cows. He also learns that that town already has a great prankster. He is determined to up his game and beat this guy. I liked this book and would recommend it to ages 8-12.

Miles murphy is a prankster, he moved to Yawnee Valley. He made friends with a boy named Niles and tries to play all sorts of pranks on people but someone is always foiling his plans. Will he become a prankster or a rule breaker?

The Terrible Two is not and 2 people who are terrible, it's just that a kid named Miles is trying to prank people and stuff so it is funny. I recommend it to grades 2-4 or something

I loved how this book was about pranks because I love love love love love love love love love love love pranking people!!!! Don't miss out read this book the author of this book is amazing you must read this book now!!!! I think that the author did a really great job at writing this book because I normally aren't interested in book like The Terrible Two but this book really got my attention. I Gave this book a 5 Star rating because it is a book that deserves a 5Star rating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know Miles Murphy felt when he was moving to Yawnee Valley. Plus I also get to see and wake up every morning when I am at my Nana's and every where I look there are cows. I'm known as the funny, cool, weird some times, pranksters at home school and other places too. Everyone out there in the world you should really read this book. I leaned a lot from this Book and you will too!!!!

This book is kind of silly, but not silly ha ha, silly not so smart. The premise is good, but the characters, plot line, and development of the story are simply ridiculous. This is not a book I would recommend reading at all.

This wasn't my reading level, nor the type of book I would pick out for myself to read. That being said I read it because it was part of the summer reading and found it better then I thought. I can see younger kids finding this book incredibly funny and enjoyable.

Miles Murphy was not happy cause he was moving to Yawnee Valley, this was place was cool and famous because they had a ton of cows. He was known as a cool prankster at his old school but at his new school he was not known at all. He goes through a lot of challenges to make new friends. read about his pranks and his story you will love this book
