Premise

Every morning, Nate and Malika go to school but get sidetracked on adventures that make them late. When they finally arrive at school, Principal Prudence never believes their stories.

Characters

  • Nate (voiced by Jane O'Brien; known as Oscar in the French dub and Mats in the German dub) – an elementary school-aged boy who is enthusiastic about going on adventures. He has white skin and wears a yellow t-shirt, jeans, yellow sneakers and a green backpack.
  • Malika (voiced by Sarah Aubrey) – an elementary school-aged girl who is Nate's best friend. She has brown skin and black hair, pulled back in a ponytail, and wears a short sleeved white shirt, red sweater, blue skirt, red and white sneakers and a blue backpack.
  • Principal Prudence (voiced by Aubrey) – the principal of Nate and Malika's school who asks Nate and Malika their reason for being late. She has black skin and is wearing a red dress, red overcoat, reading glasses and red heels.

In addition to the three main characters, other characters are introduced in most episodes as Nate and Malika embark on their journeys.
