Natalie Sampson's Halifax home is like a reality show mashup, wherein she battles her four teenagers to cooperate on dish duty and to get up in the morning; drives to hockey, basketball, baseball, piano, riding, and social events (theirs); keeps the dog's diaper clean?he pees in the house; befriends the crows; draws and writes when it's quiet. And the true judges are the three cats, of course. She is the author of several books for young readers, including <i>Game Plan</i>, <i>It Should Have Been a #GoodDay</i>, and <i>Take These Broken Wings</i>.
