For a long time Vladislav Petrovich Krapivin was considered a writer for children, and some people still think so. Such an unfair opinion was formed in criticism because his books were published mainly in children's publishing houses (or in children's editions of regional publishing houses). Indeed, the main characters in his books are boys, and if so, then where to print it as not in children's editions. But there is a big difference - to write for children and write about children. In the first case, the circle of readers is narrowed to the children's audience. In the second case, everyone reads the book, regardless of age. Arkady Gaidar, "Huckleberry Finn", Kaverin's "Two Captains" - is this children's literature or not? The answer, in my opinion, is obvious. Vladislav Krapivin is also a writer for all ages. Heroes of the novel-trilogy "Islands and Captains", growing up, turning into men, unites the goal - the search for the missing manuscript of the famous Captain Krusenstern, the first of the Russian seafarers made a round-the-world voyage. They also share a dream. A dream of the sea and ships that leads them through life. Remember the words of the oath in The Two Captains: "To fight and seek, to find and not give up"? This is about them too, the heroes of Krapivin's book - boys with an open heart and a bright fire in their eyes.
