Там, за чертой блокады: повесть

Герои повести, ленинградские подростки Виктор Стогов, Валерка Спичкин, Эльза Пожарова, знакомы читателю по ранее изданной книге «Дети блокады». В новой повести, которая читается как самостоятельное произведение, рассказывается об их дальнейшей судьбе. Оставшись в блокаду без родителей, они обрели вторую семью в дошкольном детдоме, устроенном в их бывшей школе, и вместе с ним были эвакуированы под Томск, в сибирскую деревню. Эта книга также и о тех, кто приютил «детей блокады», помог им обжиться на новом месте, — о колхозниках-сибиряках, людях широкой души и щедрого сердца.

Автор повести, бывший блокадник, будучи сам очевидцем и участником описываемых событий, рассказывает в ней о своем поколении, о том, как рано взрослели ребята военных лет, как серьезно и ответственно они относились к жизни, как мужественно и стойко переносили выпавшие на их долю тяжелые испытания.

Для среднего школьного возраста.
