    After Miles and Niles getting together to finalize their perfect prank... it started... one by one... pranking the principal..... And after the last straw... they did it... they spelled out a message with flowers which led on to firing Principal Barkin by his older father... (the not so nice principal... he honestly is the terrible one XD) SO Bertrand Barkin has absolutely no weaknesses... you know "what kills you makes you stronger" is honestly so true... because every time the pranksters keep on pranking the school it always backfires and becomes stronger... After a couple more weeks later everybody turned into his minions.. no joke... seriously... no pranks or jokes were allowed... After this... Miles and Niles came up with this terrible (but so-brilliant plan) which included.... DUN DUN DUNN... the former Principal Barkin... honestly that caught me off guard... but the story perfectly weaved together... I absolutely loved this book... it was hilarious yet with that perfect touch of seriousness.. If you are an aspiring prankster... I urge you to read this book... in fact I'll tell you the Prankster Oath... which states, " On my honor I will do my best. To be good at being bad. To disrupt, but not destroy; To embarrass the dour and amuse the merry... For I am a prankster. So be it..." It's a pretty good oath... Shhh don't tel anyone but I recited it as well... So if you want a laugh read this amusing book... because it brought a smile to my face... and one more word of advice... a clothespin ALWAYS work way better than a gas mask... And prepare to laugh... And for those who did not read the first book.. I'll post my review for the first book.. to give a "little insight..." This book brought my level of happiness maxed out!!!! This book was hilarious all the way to the end, I don't remember a time not smiling... it was that funny...this book had cool facts about cows I did not know about like did you know that cows produce more milk with classical milk! Yeah, we don't really need to know about it, but it's a random fact that I considered to remember as I am currently typing...I really liked how the author weaved in comics, cows, and pranks in the story... WAIT the pranks are awesome... if you read this book, this is one reason why to be a prankster...Also the pictures were good sketches that helped make the story funnier and you could really notice the tiny details in this story by the cute sketches... So it starts with Miles Murphy who is very gloomy because he is moving and is on his way to Yawnee Valley... Miles had this huge rep in his old school being the grand master of pranking... but now since Miles is moving he needs to step up his game because there is a very good prankster at his school... Surprises, twists and turns... the prankster turns out to be...(Guess who??? Well read and find out) well they had a prank war, and finally compromised to make the best prank ever in history... and guess which day...(Well I hoped you guessed it right)and you guessed it right April Fools Day!!!! With twists and turns, a crazy principal, funky cows, smart friends, the "best" frenemy this book had exceeded it's title to be the one of the most funniest book ever :-)!! Will the huge prank work??? Will Miles and (Niles) able to work it out together??? Will they ever meet Cody Burr-Tyler (I'm joking with that, but still you would know if you read it... so READ it)??? Fans of Diary of the Wimpy Kid series, The Brilliant World of Tom Gates, and funny and adventurous books, this book, The Terrible Two, will be a perfect and hilarious read!!

    bibliophile's book review was featured in Alistair Grim's Odd Aquaticum (Odditorium).
    Meet Grub, an orphaned chimney sweeper... After finding out that Alistair Grim is his father, they take a mysterious father-son journey... with some friends they encounter during the journey... The only issue is that the "public's number one enemy" is... well... er... Grim... but the real enemy here is the Prince Nightshade.... (oooh such a "scary name") however this prince is not your ordinary "sleeping beauty, charming prince" in fact he is quite an imbecile... honestly he drove me crazy in the book... but later he reveals his secret identity... and who he really is... which I really liked (I know I am contradicting myself saying that he drove me crazy) but usually authors don't really like to explore into that much details towards the villain unless it's truly about the,... but the way the author explored the prince's background is quite peculiar and interesting at the same time which kept me hooked... I'm so sorry for showing a bit bias towards Grub and Grim (also because they are the main characters)... but honestly the "family chemistry" is soooooo adorable... Anyways Grim has this "odd aquaticum" which can fly, swim, and do soooooo much more... SO the group must go on an underwater quest to help save the day which includes fighting against mechanical sharks, crazy witches, and so much more... I really like the author's style of writing because it feels like it's really realistic (although this tale is complete fiction)... the author implemented so many different types of mythologies and it weaved perfectly... connecting all of these points together... If you like fairy dust, adorable stories, mystery, and an adventure... this book is perfect for you!! My only disclaimer is that I did not have the chance to read the first book... so it was confusing in the beginning at first... but I quickly caught on this adventurous read... So after I'm done posting this review... I'm going to head out to my local bookstore to hunt for the first book! So do you think Prince Nightshade will het his hands on the Aquaticum... or can Grim, Grub, and his friends help get it and save the day??? Read and find out!!! This read is perfect for those who love mythology and it can be quite compared with Rick Riordan's style of writing. Enjoy!!!
