“Hilarious.”
—Dav Pilkey, author of the Captain Underpants series
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.

“You don’t have to be a cow, like cows, or even know a cow to love the Terrible Two.”
—Dave Eggers
“This book is terrible! Terribly funny, terribly full of pranks, and terribly wonderful.”

this book is very good and funny i do think you should read it it is a little like diary of a wimpy kid JUST A LITTLE jeff kinney did a review on the book on the cover
This book was really good . The illustrations were very awesome because they showed expressive details. I like how there are a lot of pranks. This book made me laugh. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends.
So funny. It is like one of those other Laffs and gags book, exept with a one-of-a-kind twist. Myles moves from his city, and he was known as the prankster for his city. But when he moves, DISASTER!! The other city already has a prankster. Myles was a prankster, not a genius or a Usain Bolt, so he decides to turn the tide of the battle, and he tries to take the "Top Prankster" cup home, and rebelles against this mystery kid. Who will Win?
This is a fun book about two pranksters. They are about to pull off the biggest prank yet. Together. Can they work together? They might prank one another on the way. This is a story for people who love to have fun!
This book is one recommended to anyone who wants a good laugh. Miles Murphy is not happy to be moving to Yawnee Valley, a sleepy town that’s famous for one thing and one thing only and it isn't that great at all: 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 get funnier-by a lot.
This book was really funny, and I don't remember a time not laughing. So I really enjoyed this book... I mean if you want to learn more about pranks, cows, and evil friends/enemies then this book is perfect for you... yes it is a weird combination, but you'll get to enjoy the whole plot and the writing style of this book... I really thought this was a fast read... So here it goes... Meet Miles Murphy who is not really happy because he is going to move... so that meant he spent all his time at his old school to be "the prankster" and now he has to redeem the whole reputation again... Now meet Niles Murphy who is the "golden boy" teacher's pet, innocent looking... you name it.... everything you see in a perfect student... But when things start going crazy... you don't know what to expect in Yawnee Valley... with the perfect amount of plot twists, you'll surely enjoy this laughable, short read... Also there is a bonus!!! There are cute and funny sketches that go with the story, to make the plot easier to understand, and just gives the humor level on a scale over 50!!! So read this amazing book for fans of aspiring pranksters and just people who want a good laugh!! Enjoy!!!
I received this book from the Freebies section. Miles Murphy is a prankster. After finding out that he would be moving to Yawnee Village, he wasn't happy. For 2 reasons: It's a town that is known for one thing only: cows. And also, there's already a prankster there. Which is the main reason. He wants to be the best, so they become rebels and try to pull good pranks--better than the other. After a while, they decide to become forces and pull the greatest prank ever!
You should read this book because Its is funny and dand=gruss.
The Terrible Two is a hilarious story capturing two mischievous boys on their adventure to secret fame! I would recommend this book to anybody. Everyone I know who read it loved it. I loved it so much I had to read it a second time! :)
