Book Information
|
The Troll Twins of Underbridge Academy is a fantasy book written by Homer Simpson, Bart Simpson, Seymour Skinner, Patty Bouvier, Moe Szyslak and Jonathan Frink.
History[edit]
After hearing about how many people write books to make money, Homer decided to do the same. He enlisted the help of Bart, Skinner, Patty, Moe and Professor Frink, and they started to write a book. Neil Gaiman also helped out by making drinks, food, etc. They started to come up with ideas and decided on a basic storyline of an orphan troll who goes to a magical school (the troll idea came from some kids who thought that Moe was a troll). They were going to go with vampires, but there were too many vampire books already.
After coming up with the idea for the story, the group got to work writing it. They worked long and hard, and Frink made the cover. Once it was finished, they took it to the Springfield Book Fair and to Slick. The publisher liked the book and said all they still needed was a fake author with a sob story. The group settled for Lisa after she had failed to write her own book.
When Skinner got an advance copy of the book, he opened it to find that it had been totally changed. The book was now entitled The Vampire Twins of Translyvania Prep and the storyline had been changed to feature vampires instead of trolls. Outraged, the group decided to get their original book published instead of the new one.
The group broke into TweenLit Inc. World Headquarters and got to the printing floor, only to be stopped by the publisher, who said that Lisa had tipped him off and told her to insert the flash drive to print the vampire version of the book. Lisa, however, swapped flash drives and inserted the Troll Twins book flash drive instead, and that version was printed and shipped off to book stores. However, the group then discovered that there was a third flash drive, which Neil Gaiman had put in place of the group's original drive. Gaiman's drive produced a book that was identical to the group's Troll Twins book, except that Neil Gaiman was credited as the author.
Later installments and film adaptations[edit]
At The Screens at the Shops at Citytown Shopping Village, a film named The Troll Twins of Underbridge Academy 3, Part 1 was being shown. It is likely there was a film adaptation of the first book in the series.
