And I ADORE Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases by Nishioishin, which is a spin-off novel of Death Note. What an ingenious murder mystery, and what great characterization of both Mello and Ryuzaki!
While not quite as well-written, I'm also very fond of the novelization of L: Change the World by M. Though it's a bit off on L's characterization at some points (if you ask me), it greatly improves on the lackluster plot of the movie, and still offers some cool new insights to L's character.
...and I'll come right out and say that I still think the Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice series by Jude Watson (and Dave Wolverton) is a good children's series

To step away from the more modern stories, I think probably my favorite "fanfic" of a Greek myth is Jorge Luis Borges' "The House of Asterion," which is written from the perspective of the Minotaur.
...I probably have some more swimming around in the back of my head, but I'm curious to see what other people say.
