Bookroo's summary

Miles and Niles, the ultimate prankster duo, face their toughest challenge yet when their nemesis, Principal Barkin, is replaced by his no-nonsense father. With fun banned and pranks outlawed, the boys must team up with their old rival to restore chaos and laughter to Yawnee Valley Science and Letters Academy. Can they outwit the iron-fisted new principal and bring back the joy of mischief? Dive into a world where friendship and creativity collide in a battle against order and boredom. Will the Terrible Two's legendary pranking skills be enough to save the day?

From the publisher

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.
