The Young Adult Literature Role-playing game (begging for a better name)

Hi,

I am in the final steps of designing and releasing my first rpg Newsies & Bootblacks (http://minimrpg.com). The game is set in New Paris, a fictional American Eastern Coast city some time between 1890 and 1914 or Late Victorian to Edwardian. Players are supposed to be between the ages of 9 to 16.

Anyway, I'm thinking extending the game rules to use them to role-play classic young adult literature. Think Verne, Salgari, Treasure Island or even Captain Courageous.

Questions:

Should I try to choose a very specific setting, like, I don't know "The Oliver Twist RPG" or something more generic trying to cover that kind of fiction in general.

And also: any idea for a better name? :)
