I think some children's books hold up in the sense of being modern fairy tales / mythology. This is very subjective, but I don't get that from YA books.

Pippi Longstocking
The Oz series
Moomins
Alice in Wonderland
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (and other Roald Dahl)

Matilda is still a joy to read as an adult!
