Ooh, The True meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex -- hilarious Earth invasion.
Ronia the robber's daughter by Astrid Lindgren -- surreal, darkly sweet middle grade story of a robber's daughter falling in love.
Midnighters by Scott Westerfeld has a fantastic ensemble cast and would have made great team television. My favorite character is the one whose magical power comes in 13 letter words.
Bleeding Violet and Slice of Cherry by Dia Reeves are the most fucked up novels I've ever read, and I love them. They're gorgeous.
The westing game by Ellen Raskin, of course. Best puzzle book ever.
I'd kind of like to read fic set in the collective Maurice Sendak universe, connecting the world of Outside over There with Higgledy-Piggledy Pop, We Are All in the Dumps with Jack and Guy, and Brundibar.
And oh dear me The Borribles by Michael de Larrabeiti. "That's me mate out there. That's Torreycanyon, the poor bleeder, he's still alive after all this time." *sobs*
Children's comics: Scary Godmother, Castle Waiting, Blue Monday, Bone.
