Герои этого сборника — молодые люди, вчерашние школьники, — летчики, подводники, связисты. Их военным подвигам посвящены рассказы: «Капитан Немо», «Кайт», «Паша Пасынков», «Талисман», «Двое», «В последние дни». Особняком стоит рассказ «Девочка-жизнь», действие которого происходит в блокадном Ленинграде. Автор сам провел там не один месяц и точно знает: необходимо мужество, чтобы сражаться на фронте, но не менее сильным духом надо быть, чтобы поддержать того, кого фашисты обрекли на голодную смерть в осажденном городе. К 80-летию Победы в Великой Отечественной войне. Для среднего и старшего школьного возраста.
