Oh gosh, it's so hard to narrow it down to just one.
Hogfather was a big one. All of the Discworld books are contenders for this, more or less.
Shadow of the Wind was another huge one. Read it first as a youngster, got a lot out of it, read it AGAIN as an adult and got different things. So good.

ICE spotted on a town's street and people flocked to force them at least a different way. A crowd of people blocked the intersection forcing the agents to turn down a different street.
Even this 4 minute distraction allows people time to get inside and away from ICE kidnappings.
