The Terrible Two by Jory John and Mac Barnett

Miles is famous for being a prankster in his previous school. In his new school he wants to establish the same reputation but discovers there is a competition with Niles, the boy who is his student helper showing him around the school.  Niles wants Miles to cooperate with him and become a team of pranksters but Miles doesn't consider it until his big prank is out pranked.  Miles and Nile become the terrible two.

This book is full of cartoon like illustrations and lots of humor and comedy.  The principal is a funny character who is often the target for many pranks.  He also has a son who is a classic bully that needs to be taken down. There is also a "cow" theme running throughout the story line. It seems the town is famous for cows.

This book is perfect for those kids who just can't get enough of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Big Nate, & Captain Underpants.  I actually didn't mind this book.  It was silly and funny and had some creative plot twists. I rate it a 3 out of 4.  It is a great division 1 book.  The reading level is 4.5.  There are two books in this series and a third one coming out in 2017.
