Books with title Natasha and the Letter N

Natasha lives in the boring and mannequin-like suburbs of Smile Valley, trying to overcome her mother's death. She doesn't get any understanding from her father or anyone in the neighborhood, but one day, while she is moping under the tree outside her father's house, the tree talks to her, understanding her pain, and tells her all about the druid's path-a path of magic and truth. Feeling a sense of hope, Natasha agrees to the journey, enters the tree's mouth, and walks down a spiraling stairway into a land of her own imagination. She meets many characters along the way: Mr. Pi, Kara the Giant, Gorge the Troll, the man with a thousand faces-all characters who force her to question her identity and help her along on her journey. But Demola, the Queen, and the skinless man do everything in their power to stop Natasha from becoming a druid. They work for an evil company trying to control nature, turn children into adults, and maintain power over the world. In the end, Natasha must conquer these villainous characters, along with her own internal villains, in order to become a druid and find happiness within herself.

Natasha doesn't get along with her stepmother or father after the death of her mother. To cope she speaks to a talking tree, which grows in front of her house in Smile Valley; his name is Rigden. After a convincing conversation ready for something new she eventually walks down a spiraling staircase within the tree itself; going on a quest to find the secret plans of the Queen (all within the magical world of the tree) she must face Demola, who’s an evil witch with bat wings; and The Skinless Man, along with black-robe dwarves, who are life-long employees of the Skinless Man’s Company to become a Druid with magical powers strong enough to withstand the Machine in A.L.E.N Headquarters. Some people I know, who’ve read the book say the story reminds them of Star Wars mixed with Alice in Wonderland. Pseudonym: Sherwood Moody
