In no particular order...
I remember The Phantom Tollbooth and From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. I'm unfamiliar with the others (except Wrinkle which was okay.) Did you ever read My Father's Dragon? It's good even as an adult.
I don't recall the book you're referring to, however I have hunted down several of the books I listed as an adult. I found that, with few exceptions, they were just as enjoyable at 23 as they were at 10. Perhaps this is why these books remained so memorable to me after all these years!
