Our YA Librarian has been asked to give a booktalk on a YA book that is set in modern day London that mentions street names that currently exist. I suggested Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole books, but she's read those and doesn't think street names are mentioned. Any suggestions I can pass along to her?
Thanks in advance!
