In the quaint town of Yawnee Valley, known more for its bovine population than its human inhabitants, Miles Murphy faces the ultimate challenge: to claim his title as the supreme prankster in a land already dominated by an anonymous trickster of legendary status. Fresh off the heels from his reign as the chief jokester in his previous school, Miles is determined to prove his mettle in this sleepy town. But to ascend to the top, he must outwit and outmaneuver the mysterious master of mischief who has already laid claim to the throne of pranks. As the battle of wits escalates, an unexpected alliance forms when Miles and his rival decide that two heads are better than one in the art of pranking. Together, they set their sights on a target so ambitious, a prank so colossal, that it could secure their place in the hallowed halls of prankster legend. "The Terrible Two" by Jory John weaves a tale of friendship, rivalry, and the lengths to which we go for a good laugh, capturing the heart and spirit of classic middle-grade literature while injecting it with a modern twist of humor and heart.
