The Terrible Two

In a humorous fiction The Terrible Two by Jory John and Mac Barnett, the pranksters Miles Murphy and Niles Sparks kept life in Yawney Valley Science and Letters Academy fun and interesting with their hilarious pranks. They also try to best their nemesis Principal Barkin by attempting pranks that cause the closure of the school for the first time since he became principal. Both Miles and Niles are amusing characters. Miles initially wanted to be the “the king of pranks” in his new school, so he did not want to team up with the school’s best original prankster Niles. However, Niles, who is a more disciplined and cautious of the two, was patient and in the end, they became a good team and the best of friends. The best scene of the book is when Principal Barkin first discovered a surprise left by the pranksters in his office and tried to hide it. The book’s humorous tone as well as funny illustrations makes it a fun read. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a sense of humour and loves reading entertaining stories. - Isabella
