Any Roald Dahl, but particularly Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Matilda and James and The Giant Peach.

Janet and Allan Ahlberg: Famous for their beautiful children's picture books but their longer works like Ten In A Bed, The Vanishment of Thomas Tull, The Better Brown Stories, The Bear Nobody Wanted are all very good and specialise in overturning the established expectations of kid's lit.

Allan Ahlberg wrote plenty of children's stories by himself too, my favourite as a child was Woof! which was about a boy who turns into a dog. There was even a TV series in the UK based on it (which ran for far longer than it should have but had a pretty cool Anthony Head cameo in series 3!)
