Disc World by Terry Pratchett
Terry Pratchett is one of the most prolific writers I know of. His Disc World series now consists of over 30 books. For the most part they do not have to be read in order, although it does help. There are a few sets of characters who occasionally interact, but largely have their own plot lines and can be read as a separate series. All of the books are hilariously funny. My favourites are the ones that feature the City Watch, Monstrous Regiment, and Reaper Man.
The books were written for adults, but many children will enjoy them, though they will probably miss a lot of the jokes.
For a full list of the books, try Wikipedia.
