For a long time, Vladislav Petrovich Krapivin was considered a children's writer, and some still do. This unfair opinion arose among critics because his books were published primarily by children's publishers (or by the children's editions of regional publishers). Indeed, the main characters in his books are boys. But there's a big difference between writing for children and writing about children. In the former case, the readership narrows to children. In the latter, the book is read by everyone, regardless of age. Jules Verne, "Huckleberry Finn," Kaverin's "Two Captains"—are they children's literature or not? The answer is obvious. So, Vladislav Krapivin is a writer for all ages.

The heroes of the novel trilogy "Islands and Captains," growing up and becoming men, are united by a goal: the search for a lost manuscript about the famous Captain Kruzenshtern, the first Russian navigator to circumnavigate the globe. They are also united by a dream. A dream of the sea and ships that guides them through life. Remember the words of the oath in "Two Captains": "Fight and seek, find, and never surrender"? This applies to them too, to the heroes of Krapivin's book—boys with open hearts and a bright fire in their eyes.
