Hi, Adelaide Chmura,

You have just blown me away! I honestly don’t remember writing any jungles in GO JUMP IN THE POOL. But I do know that, if I did write some, they would have been made up. If you use real quotations from other sources, you have to get permission, and give credit in a footnote, and that would have felt like too much trouble. So I’m going to go out on a limb and say that no, they weren’t advertising real companies. (And if my memory has failed me and I’m wrong, I hope you’ll be kind enough to forgive me!)                                                                                —–Gordon Korman—–
