On their own, pranksters Miles and Niles were pretty devious. Now that they’ve formed a pranking duo, they’re terrible! But their powers will be tested when their favorite nemesis, Principal Barkin, is replaced by his stern and cunning father, Former Principal Barkin. Now Miles and Niles will do just about anything to get their old antagonist back—including pranking alongside him.

Authors and friends Mac Barnett and Jory John “are in perfect comic harmony” (Publishers Weekly) in this series that celebrates inventiveness, friendship, and the power of teamwork—for good, or for terrible.

Really good so far...

The second installment of the highly-praised "Terrible Two" series is here! Meet Niles Sparks and Miles Murphy, also known as the Terrible Two. At the drab Yawnee Valley School of Science at Letters, these two have managed to pull off ingenious prank after prank right under the nose of the ignorant Principal Barry Barkin. But when a prank goes too far during a school picture, Principal Barkin ends up being fired and Principal Barkin's father, Bertrand Barkin, replaces him as head of the school. There's just one problem about this shocking change in power - Bertrand Barkin has no weaknesses. None. Niles and Miles try to pull off prank after prank - including putting the spiciest pepper in the world in Barkin's drink to clogging up the furnace with stinky cheese on April Fools' Day, but nothing works. Bertrand Barkin, or "Principal Invincible", as most of the student body call him, refuses to acknowledge the existence of pranks, and if there's no reaction after a prank, it really isn't a prank at all, is it? Everyday, a clock is ticking, and days go by until it's almost the last day of school. Niles and Miles do what they thought they would never do - they ask Former Principal Barry Barkin to help them plan a prank - and when Barry Barkin reveals a horrible and wonderful secret about his father, the crazy plan that the Terrible Two concocted just might work. Now, I absolutely loved this book - loved it! From the beginning to the end, this book had me hooked, and I eagerly turned from page to page to see what the Terrible Two would do next. It had me laughing until tears ran out (especially from the last, last prank, that was genius!) In fact, when I needed a good laugh or two, I picked up this book, it just made me laugh so, so much! This book is indeed, terrible - terribly brilliant, terribly wonderful, and terribly ingenious.

i love it i have read the first one

I thought that this was a really great book. It was about two friends, Niles and Miles, who have a secret pranking society. They love to prank their principle. Their whole goal is to stop the dooms day count down or the prank clock from going to 120. You will learn more about that further into the story. I don't want to spoil any part of this funny, exciting adventure. I enjoyed this story because it kept the pages turning and that made it a quick read. Although this is a sequel you do not need to read the first one in the series. I would recommend either one of The Terrible Two books to any 8 to 10 year olds. I can't wait for their third adventure and more of their pranks!

megaman megaman

cant wait for it so epic the first one is

The sequel to one of my favorite books ever, the Terrible Two Get Worse is hialrious. Niles and Miles are at it again and when their principal gets fired, Bertrand Barkin steps in (a.k.a principal invinciple). When none of the Terrible Two's pranks work, they will do anything to get him back.
