I loved The Indian In the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks when I was young. If I recall correctly, there are three books in the series...and while they aren't exactly on par with Dahl, they have adventure, a bit of fantasy, and were fun and engaging. I also second (or third) The Wrinkle In Time series..I read the first when I was 7 and was hooked.
