Partial answer
Taking a cue from Fillet's observation that
one of the clues looks as if we're looking at a mashup of two books with titles that begin the same way
and (EDITED to add this)
OP's clarification that some of the title-relationships are less specific than "begin the same way"
I tentatively propose:
One for all, including a dog
The three musketeers / Three men in a boat
Clumsy girl goes into hiding
Diary of a Wimpy Kid / Diary of Anne Frank
Jailbait esper
Lolita / Matilda
Fillet's answer has solutions for Elves' disastrous self-government and Roaring parties in the pip-filled Big Apple, so still remaining are:
First born goes to Saturn
Ducks go bomb stuff in winter
Highness bequeathes his lands to imaginary sheep
[EDITED: Some stuff deleted because its only point was to help with an extraction step that OP has clarified isn't there.]
Further vague speculation:
"Highness bequeaths his lands" sounds a bit like King Lear, though I think "Highness" is for princes and "Majesty" for kings.

Everything you said is pretty much correct (Well I had Bridget's Jones diary, but that's to taste). The puzzle is probably not as elaborate as you think : there is sadly no "final answer", and titles can be related by more fuzzy relationships than a common word.
