The Mysterious Benedict Society
The only real difference between excellent "children's" fiction and excellent "adult" fiction is the age of the protagonist. I suppose that makes The Mysterious Benedict Society, by Trention Lee Stewart, a "children's book".
Read it for yourself, then share with a kid. It's a wonderful adventure.
