Jennifer Hudstone's Boring Little Life (Blurb)

Book by Kira N Keating



Jennifer Hudstone's Boring Little life is about an overly dramatic teen age girl who believes that she is the main character in a story. This is the first installment of her crazy life as a not-so-ordinary high school student.  Jennifer navigates her day-to-day life through the lens of her imagination and aims to create a story worth reading. 

However, in a story dominated by the Jennifer's perspective, what is really going on?

Is Jennifer as in control over her plot line as she thinks? What will she do when strange new characters are introduced into her story? Is Jennifer even the main character or is she just another self-aware-piece-of-fiction in another character's story?

Episode 14 Of Books, Letters and Coded Messages “ Welcome to The Macha Falls Archives,” Jennifer announces to her reader, from her seat behind the front desk. “I can't tell you what a relief this is, yesterday I practically skipped all the way home. My mum wasn't happy at first, but quickly came to see my side of the story as I pointed out how many times I had been passed around...” Ms H walks out from between the shelves, pushing a trolley, and Jennifer quickly continues scanning returned books back into the system. Ms H officially hired Jennifer that morning, on probation, and put her to work behind the desk. What is probation? - you might ask. It means that Jennifer had to work, without pay, for a week and, after that, Ms H gets the final say about if Jennifer can continue working there or not. Honestly, Jennifer is not bothered. She gets a chance and that is all that she wanted – a chance to prove herself. All Jennifer's done so far is scan books, bu...

Episode 17 A Quest for Interesting “ The air is cold and dry as Jennifer takes her usual route to the library,” Jennifer narrates, having taken it upon herself to tell her own story. Even though her life has grown slightly more interesting in the last few weeks, Jennifer was overcome by the sense of boring that morning. She had woken up feeling extraordinarily mundane and had no motivation to go to work... it had nothing to do with the work itself, but rather with the fact that Jennifer would be doing the exact same thing again. She can't imagine that someone would read a story where the main plot centred around the same daily events, chapter after chapter. Working at the library was interesting, at first, but now that it has become normal, Jennifer's fallen back into her former sense of dullness. “ The road was long, but not long enough for Jennifer to finish pondering the past's events. Events concerning Angus and Enoch and, finally, Tessa as well. A l...

Episode 18 Peeping Eyes Jennifer walks as fast as she can to the library door, she feels the urge to run, but the last thing she wants to do is get in trouble with Ms H. Outside, on the landing, Jennifer hastily looks up and down the street. Enoch should still be nearby. Spotting him, one street over, Jennifer trots down the stairs and quickly crosses the street. She follows at a comfortable distance, not losing sight of him, but she's also not close enough for him to spot her easily if he were to turn around. Jennifer opens her mouth, to start expressing her thoughts to her reader, but then quickly stops herself. She had not realized that the price she would have to pay for the secrecy would be silence. Swallowing her words, Jennifer starts pondering the situation internally as they turn out of the main road. The first thing to come to mind is the Author's Advocate. She ponders the new letter and then the previous one and thinks about the questions the Autho...
