Look. There are books that are important for kids to read. Books parents or teachers will want to read with their kids so they can start a conversation about something true.
And then there are books that are just fun. Books kids and parents alike will like without trying. Books that can be read aloud, that will strengthen the bond between you and your kids.
The Terrible Two series is the fun kind of book. That said, this one does deal with ideas of tyranny and rebellion. The two prankster heroes are up against a rather humorless individual who is quite literally ruining school for everyone and running a rather successful fake news campaign to maintain his power.
Yes, it’s all rather low-stakes and silly. But it will matter to kids. And the humor is still sizzling, the writing smart, so you’ll like it too. This is the series I recommend most frequently because I have a hard time imagining many people who wouldn’t like it.
