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 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."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

But over the summer, Miles and his mom are moving to Yawnee Valley, a town known for its large cow population. On the first day of school, Miles discovers this town already has a prankster, and this person is very good. Miles thinks there isn't enough room in Yawnee Valley for two of his ilk, so he decides to become the number one prankster and schemes his best joke yet. Miles will come to realize, however, that the biggest joke is on him. Has Miles met his match? Let the competition begin. Narrator Adam Verner does a superb job of bringing each character to life with distinct voices and personalities. Verner keeps the story funny and lively from beginning to end. VERDICT Amusing and entertaining if not a laugh-out-loud event, this is a story that will resonate well with middle schoolers and fans of Andrew Clements.—Jennifer Mann, Ann Arbor, MI

Hes the best prankster his school has ever seen. So when hes forced to move to boring, cow-filled Yawnee Valley, he assumes hell be the best prankster at his new school, too.Theres one problem.
