Silly....not remarkable

About the only thing remarkable about Remarkable by Lizzie K Foley is how many times the word "remarkable" is used.  Now, I enjoy farce from time to time, but this was just too much for me.  

It is the story of the town of Remarkable, in which everything, and everybody, is...remarkable.  Except for poor Jane.  She is ordinary, so ordinary that people, including her family, forget she's there.  She is the only student at the public school because all the other students attend the school for the gifted and talented.  There is a lake monster, an ex-pirate with two peg legs, a missing composer, a Science Fair, and twins who are remarkable at breaking the rules.  All the elements converge at the christening of the remarkable new bell tower.  

Maybe I wasn't in the right mood, but I found it remarkably silly.
