The Story of Princess Natasha
Natasha is the princess of Zoravia, a fictional country. Zoravia has two parts: an old side with famous landmarks and a new side with advanced technology. King Karl rules Zoravia now. But his older brother, Lubek, used to be king.
Lubek became king after their father passed away. However, the people of Zoravia didn't like him. They voted him out of power. Lubek was very angry. He moved out of Zoravia and started attacking the country from the United States.
To stop these attacks, Natasha's parents, the King and Queen, let her go to the United States. Her mission is to stop Lubek's plans. But she has to keep her royal status and spy work a secret.
In the U.S., Natasha lives with the O'Brien family. She develops a crush on their son, Greg. Greg already has a girlfriend named Kelly, whom Natasha doesn't like. Natasha also meets Maya, a tomboy who quickly becomes her best friend. School life is tricky for Natasha. It's even harder because she has to sneak away often to fight Lubek's latest schemes.
