Horn Book (Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2017)

Created by Gertrude Candler Warner. It's doubtful that the world needs additional titles in the Boxcar Children series, which already number more than 150. Nonetheless, publisher Whitman has taken advantage of the series' seventy-fifth anniversary to bring out a new five-book spinoff. Now the four children have cell phones to help in their sleuthing endeavors. Otherwise, the stories are just as bland and formulaic as their predecessors.
