    About this ebook

    Ever wonder how contemporary singing divas protect their voice boxes? Well, wonder no more! In the satirical short story, "How to Become a Bodyguard for Celine Dion's Larynx" by Kathleen Gerard, an over-achieving nine-year-old unknowingly embarks on an unlikely career path en route to working for Celine Dion, the popular singing sensation. You'll laugh and you'll cry as the narrator of the story, a gifted child with a MENSA I.Q., navigates through a journey of a lifetime. This short story is a clever, comedic read for adults and teenagers, who just might learn a thing or two about how the heartbreak of youth can become a gateway into living an unimaginable future!
