The Terrible Two
“In which Miles Murphy and Niles Sparks become rival pranksters”
The Terrible Two is the first in a series of books by the terribly great team of Mac Barnett and Jory John, detailing the rivalry that erupts between Miles Murphy and Niles Sparks, two pre-teen pranksters. Can the school survive their no-holds barred prank war? I'm actually not going to tell you. That's kind of my prank on you. Burnt! Collected here are some of my favorite illustrations from the book, along with some early concept art and cover ideas. There's even a sample of the wax seal made for honorary pranksters!
The Terrible Two Get Worse
The Terrible Two Get Worse is the second installment in the saga of Miles Murphy and Niles Sparks, two rival pranksters turned inseparable compadres!
Reveling, bacchus-like, in an educational environment ripe for pranking, the boys finally go too far and find that there are indeed limits to their universe. Soon they find themselves going head-to-head with the most cunning rival either has faced since the dark days when they were at each other's throats. To defeat this interloper, they'll have to change their tactics, their minds, and their loyalties in ways they never imagined!
The Terrible Two Go Wild
The Terrible Two Go Wild is the third installment in the ongoing story of Miles Murphy and Niles Sparks, two rival pranksters turned boon companions.
In this tale, we join our heroes already engaged in a fierce pranking campaign against Josh Barkin and his minions, known as Papa Company. Trouble brews from within and without as Miles and Niles wrestle with secrets, personal doubt, and a surprising spark of pranking insight from the normally dim Josh. Will Miles and Nile’s friendship survive these tribulations? Will Papa Company successfully sink the Terrible Two? Will Principal Barry Barkin personally entertain me for several pages by narrating his own mythic forest adventure? You'll have to read the book to find out the answers!
Okay, okay. I'll give you one. Principal Barkin goes totally batty there for a few pages. It’s great.
The Terrible Two’s Last Laugh
In the fourth and final installment of the Terrible Two series, Niles and Miles face a crisis of heretofore unimaginable proportions. No, not a Godzilla. With the beginning of a new school year, principal and unconventional ally Barry Barkin initiates—
No, I said it wasn’t a Godzilla.
ahem… initiates an assembly to discuss—
Stop it with the Godzilla crap! I'm trying to tell you the story and you keep interrupting! Now do you want to hear what happens, or do you want to continue this childish game?
Good.
As I was saying—
That's it. You're on your own. Look the damn book up yourself.
