Goran Tells The Story
Kudos/Reviews
5.0 out of 5 stars Minnesota fan of the "No Time To Duck" series.
Goran King writes of a time and place that were magical. The digital revolution was still 20 years off, and Casey and his band roamed the countryside looking for adventure and rarely asking permission from home, mom, farmers, etc. This was a splendid time to be a 13-year-old boy and to roam the New England countryside without care. If you fell in love with Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer as a child, you'll be equally spellbound by Casey, Tim, and company.
Goran says more episodes are in the works, so get caught up now; it's an adventure you'll savor!

Entertaining. Brought back memories of life on the farm. What a fun childhood. Not many kids today will have the chance to have this much fun!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!
This book really brings to life the carefree fun of growing up in a rural area 50+ years ago. No TV, video games, or terrorists to worry about. The only worry is what to do the following day! The characters are interesting, the dialogue is great, and the book flows nicely. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a tale of a boy's endless Summer and first love.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading In No Time To Duck. It was hilarious from front to back. I learned that one armpit hair can cause many issues growing up. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is willing to laugh.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading; “NO TIME TO DUCK” By: Goran K. King. This book, which is centralized around the formative years, fishing, & adventures in discovery within the adolescent experience of yesteryear, not only lifted my spirits but also caused me to grin with delight. A true page-turner in every aspect of the definition! Mr. King successfully combined both humor and intrigue to produce a book that is guaranteed to elevate your soul and take you on a journey with a rewarding climax.

“Goran K King is a refreshingly literate voice in a room often echoing with the mediocre. His writing flows with knowing ease, and his images are both new and entertaining; 'I’d rather french-kiss a rattlesnake'; 'coke bottle lenses'. The humor is never forced, and his characters move the narrative forward with splendid dialogue and wonderful activity. Underscoring the apparent simplicity is an informed ability to capture the reader's imagination...and to hold it. This is an impressive addition to the genre. Congratulations.”

“Goran K King’s writing is dark, funny, sweet, and nostalgic. A great book... what a flow, and these kids are something that I think most boys in general will be able to relate to. Thank you. You ought to be proud of your work.”

“Goran K King’s style of writing is fantastic. It is reminiscent of Mark Twain's best works, although duly updated where the kids are not that innocent. This is an education for me…to follow suit...less narrative, less preamble, and get 'there' earlier. Well done…I thought the cover was absolutely outstanding...”

​“Oh, my goodness…this is so great…This is children's writing at it's best. You know your characters, and the setting is so nostalgic! Thank you, Goran, and keep up the good work!”
