Margaret Stohl’s Black Widow series brings Natasha Romanoff into young adult fiction. The first book, Forever Red, introduces Ava Orlova, a young girl whose life was saved by Natasha years earlier. When a dangerous figure from the Red Room resurfaces, Ava and Natasha must work together to stop a threat tied to both their pasts.

The sequel, Red Vengeance, continues the story as Natasha and Ava face new dangers from a global conspiracy. The books are aimed at teen readers and blend spy thriller action with the broader Marvel universe. Fans of the character from the films will find a different angle here, with more focus on Natasha’s history and her relationships outside the Avengers.

These novels were published by Marvel Press and helped expand Marvel’s presence in the YA book market alongside other tie-in novels from the same period.
