Hello!!!!! I was wondering what the Grimes brothers names were? My friend wants me to make a sad fanfic about teacher Mr. Grimes, because well, it is really sad to see your brother become a criminal, especially your twin! I had a headcanon that they were really close when they were younger too.

Hi,Aly,

Thanks for posting. Mr. Grimes the teacher was named Theodore. His twin brother was Thaddeus. If you make the fanfic, would you send it to me here? I'd love to see it. -----Gordon Korman-----

YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!

I'm so happy you want to read it, I just finished it, it only took about 5 hours. Be warned though, I haven't written in a while so it might be a bit bad. I've also made other fanfics on my profile, but you don't have to read them.

Oh, Aly, hold on! I just talked with my editor, and (gasp!) ChatGPT lied! I don't know where it got those names, but the Grimes brothers' names were never mentioned in the book. So I steered you wrong. I'm SO sorry. I took the ChatGPT shortcut, and it led me astray!

Your work will need names, and those are as good as any, but they're (sob) wrong! Forgive me? --GK--
