Purchase options and add-ons

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.

    I love Mac Barnett. Extra Yarn is one of our favorite picture books of all time. I bought this as a bedtime book to read aloud to my 6-year-old daughter. We both loved it! In fact the whole family loved it! This book did not stay relegated to bedtime for long. We cuddled on the couch on a Saturday afternoon and read it. I started taking it whenever we were in the car to read while my husband drove. You will not want to put this book down; it is just that fun. It is also deceptively simple. The sentences are relatively short and easy to read with a lovely flowing cadence. However, the concepts are sometimes fairly deep. This book never fell victim to the obvious or to the juvenile potty humor that I hate. And the vocabulary, completely fabulous! This gave me the opportunity to teach my daughter several new vocabulary words. I definitely love that! It is practically impossible to find a funny book with such great use of words! I highly recommend this book. We are moving on to the The Terrible Two Get Worse!

    We are fans of the Mac B Kid Spy books so we decided to try this Mac Barnett book. We loved it! It's such a good book for growing readers (2nd-3rd-4th grade) because the chapters flow by easily and the events keep the story moving along. The story is about a boy named Miles who moves to new town and is determined to establish himself in his new school. Some parents might frown on the idea that the story revolves around school kids playing pranks (essentially doing some things kids shouldn't do). We are a conservative household that tries to emphasize telling the truth, and being respectful of others and we did not find the book to be offensive, just really funny.

    I had to read this as part of being a battle of the books coach. So funny I was laughing out loud during class while subbing. I recommended the book to all the 5th graders! I liked the creative way the boys thought up tricks, and it was just realistic enough to think it could actually happen. Easy to read for all levels. This one is staying in our library.

  • Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2022
    The terrible two was a hit with my 8yo little prankster. Though it’s a chapter book, there’s still some pictures and I think that keeps him engaged. He is not a strong reader. Though he is able to read it, I read the majority of it and have him read a couple sentences every other page.

    Unbelievable. I can not believe a person could come up with some thing like this! This book was so funny that I fell of the chair and onto the floor! Also I really like the whole secret tree house and club, since I always wanted something like this.
