Is the book title "Main Street" the same in Spanish?
Would the book "Main Street" by Ann Martin have the same title if it was in Spanish? If not, what is it then?

There are many book titles that do not change, but also many that do. The same goes for movies. I prefer to translate the titles, but then some people may not know what you are talking about since you may not have the same translation as someone else.
For example, you got a few different translations for "main street" the phrase: "La calle principal," "La avenida principal," and "Calle principal." Which one is the "correct" Spansh title for that book? Only the Spanish publisher (if the book were published in Spanish) would know, I'm afraid.
If you are writing an essay, I would keep the title in English. "Main Street" por Ann Martin just so there wouldn't be any confusion on exactly what book it is.
La Calle Mayor.
You can also say: calle principal.
Please delete.
Yes Paralee some film titles bear no resemblance to the original titles, for instance I was once asked by my native Spanish teacher in class to name a favourite film and I said "El sonido de música" meaning "The sound of music" well in Spanish that film is called "Sonrisas y lágrimas"
calle principal
