Nielsen wrote this poorly constructed sentence when she was eleven. And while she isn't exactly famous, she did predict her future.

Susin is the author of five critically acclaimed and award-winning titles, includingย Optimists Die First,ย We Are All Made of Molecules, andย The Reluctant Journal of Henry K. Larsen.ย
Nielsen lives in Vancouver with her family and two naughty cats.ย
