The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster has many references to math...
There is a Dodecahedron who has a different face for each emotion he feels, a
Mathemagician who has a magical eraser, to name two.  It is written on the
fifth grade level, but could be considered allegorical...   My
fourth and fifth grade students love it, and I used to use it with seventh
graders.
