Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. Best friends Miles Murphy and Niles Sparks, better known as the Terrible Two (but only to each other), have taken their school by storm with a series of madcap pranks. As a pair of dedicated pranksters, it’s what they do. But they realize they may have gone too far when their pranks get Principal Barkin fired . . . only to be replaced by his father, also Principal Barkin. And while their former principal made a fun target for their pranking, the new principal is quickly sucking the life and fun out of everything. He doesn’t even react, even to the most innovate pranks. And to handle this new principal and get their old one back, Miles and Niles will have to team up with an unlikely ally to pull off a prank of epic proportions. For those who enjoyed The Terrible Two, this book is a solid, fun follow-up. The Terrible Two Get Worse is a charming, funny middle-grade story full of tricks, friendship, and good clean fun. I appreciate particularly that this volume addresses the idea of pranking while doing no real harm–and fixing the messes you make. Because yeah, while middle-grade pranking is humorous and ought to be relatively innocent, it would be pretty easy for kids to go overboard. As far as Niles and Miles’ friendship, we get something more developed and settled here. In the first volume, they’re in this rivals-to-friends stage, but by this point, they know each other and have done lots together. They accept each others’ quirks, have secret handshakes, and are generally comfortable together. I wish we had gotten more of this friendship aspect, honestly–like, it’s there throughout, but there’s enough focus on plot that it gets a smidge lost in the shuffle at times. Still, though, I enjoyed the friendship represented here. The plot can get a bit angsty at times, if only because there’s such a dour antagonist at play, but rest assured that there’s plenty of good fun as well. As an aside, I also really enjoyed the way the illustrations are worked in as actual parts of the text; you couldn’t read the story completely without the specific pictures in the specific places that they are. For those who enjoy humorous middle-grade stories, I would recommend. This is the second book in the Terrible Two Series, but it is the first one I have read. I enjoyed it immensely. This is a book that mid-grade students will love. Miles and Niles make up the Terrible Two. They are pranksters that have fun, but do no harm. Their pranks are things like rubbing stinky cheese on the vents of the principal's car or planting wild violets in a pattern so that when the school picture is taken they say something silly. The principal, Principal Barry Barkin, is somewhat a stick in the mud and makes the perfect goat for their pranks. Unfortunately, he loses his job due to the pranks and his father, the previous principal takes over the job and he is even worse. The school loses all it's joy and the boys need to do what they can to help Principal Barry Barkin get his job back. It is a lot of harmless fun and the black and white illustrations add just enough to illuminate the story. I would definitely recommend this book to any elementary schools for their classes and library. I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
