“[T]his is a book for all ages, especially for those who long for the books of yesteryear that invoked magic and mystery and warmth and an instant love affair with the author… Velk is a major find.” - Grady Harp in The Literary Aficionado, Amazon Vine Voice, Top 50 Reviewer.

This is a charming book with an easy, flowing writing style that should really appeal to older kids who've fallen under the "Downton" spell — and their history buff parents. - Margot Harrison - 7 Days, Burlington, VT.

"A book to be savored..." - The Teatime Reader

"I would certainly recommend this as a YA novel, but as with all good novels, it appeals to all ages whether the protagonist is fifteen or older. An entertaining novel with lots of good social and cultural history thrown in with the adventure." - A Garden Carried in the Pocket

"I've always been interested in the past," Miles said, "I just never thought it was a place I would visit."

Miles McTavish likes old bicycles, new music, and (don’t say it too loud), model railroading. As the only child of wealthy Dallas executives, it appears that a life of ease is his birthright. All those expectations are upended, however, the day he is summoned to the hospital bed of his friend Morgan Davies. Professor Davies has a secret to share: he is a time traveler. He also has a task for his young friend: Miles is to travel back in time to 1928, and across the sea to England. Once there, he is to find “a girl with a gift, a girl born out of her time” and a “secret that was not meant to be” and then return home with them both. Miles must first find the courage to pass through the strange portal in the Vermont woods that will launch him on this mission, and then to face down a series of do-or-die crises (including a crisis of confidence). Miles' quest for the girl and the secret carries him from a great estate in England's beautiful countryside to London's jazz-age cabarets, and from terrified boy to heroic young man.

Visit England between the wars coming from 21st century

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 agosto 2016

Acquisto verificato

This is a young adult/fantasy although some call it time travel. Miles is our main character and a very young 15 yrs old and small for his age. He lives in Texas where he helps repair bikes with a Professor in his spare time. When the professor learns Miles is going to Vermont with his parent who are avid bikers and asks Miles to do something for him and to take a stone (and not lose it) and an old time bike. Miles goes off on his own to try and accomplish what the professor asks and low and behold he winds up in England between the wars. I loved the way this book shows Miles thinking on his feet after getting in a minor bit of trouble and the things he has to do while in England are so different from his home life. But his mission is to find a girl and find a secret and get back home--can he do it--what happens along the way--does he make friends? All these will be answered when you read this awesome book--the only nit picky point I have--when is the second book coming out???? Please, so much more to find out!!

The best Time travel story I have ever read-and I am ...

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 5 giugno 2016

Acquisto verificato

The best Time travel story I have ever read-and I am no teenager-like the subject. I read it in just 2 sittings I couldn't leave it 2nd time despite I should have been asleep. The only complaint was it would have been even better with another chapter or 2 -what happens to Ada and how the Professor reacts to 'the secret'. Miles was a great character, book very well written-more of this genre K Velk please-or another short book on these characters future?

A credible story about a boy growing up with the help of a little time travelling...

Recensito in Germania il 20 settembre 2015

Acquisto verificato

The story is about a teenage boy who more or less stumbles into an adventure in 1928 England where he is supposed to find a particular girl and uncover a secret without having any clue where exactly to find either. The story starts slowly and thoroughly introduces 15-year-old Miles McTavish from a wealthy family with all the weaknesses and insecurities a boy that age is allowed and even supposed to have. He arrives at this different age and place that are so completely different from what he knows and is not immediately an expert on English history but is on the verge of exposing himself as time traveller more often than once. Good thing he remembers one good piece of at advise that was given to him to avoid just that: to shut up.

The end as such was not entirely unpredictable, but anything else would not have fit the story, I feel. My favourite side characters were the Peppermores, especially blind Susanne Peppermore who is sick of being cheered up by others by reminding her what other blind people have accomplished.

I also liked that Dr. Slate, even though in general a good person, has his downsides as well. I find characters that are not painted to be exclusively "good" or "bad" a lot more convincing.

All in all I liked the way Miles grew with the challenges he had to face and the mistakes he made.

A lovely read

This may be for young adults but the subject matter appealed so I took a chance and I'm glad I did. The author has plenty of scope for different story lines in future and I'll look out for these in future.

I am not normally a reader of young-adult literature, but I met Kim online and when I read her intelligent and well phrased comments on several issues of concern to both of us, I decided to check out her writing. I'm glad I did.

I am giving this novel four stars in the debut-novel category (I believe Bill Kinsella once said there should be two categories for writers: the minor leagues and the pro leagues, and I agree with him on this). Up, Back and Away is an auspicious beginning to what I am sure will be a substantial writing career. It is an intriguing tale of a 15-year-old boy who cycles through a port in time, leaving Northern Vermont in 2012 and ending up in the English countryside in 1928. He's been sent on a mission by an older friend of his, Professor Morgan Davies, and when he had accomplished the mission he will be able to return to present-day America and his family.

Time travel is always interesting to read about, as the traveller learns about the strange country in which he or she has ended up, and Up, Back and Away fulfils its promise in this area very well. In addition to carrying out the requests of Professor Davies, Miles is challenged by the need to hide his true identity while simultaneously learning about the time and place in which he finds himself. As far as I can tell, Velk has done her research well, and she presents us with a convincing world populated by an interesting cast of characters.

As she did in our online exchanges, Kim Velk here writes with clarity and confidence, and the editing of the book is commendable. Among the myriad self-published books by first-time writers, many of which are horrible, it is a pleasure to find in this book a novel that meets the standards of many professional publications.
