I'm not a fan of the genre in particular, but I can rec Barry Longyear (anything of his) and Howard Waldrop's "Them Bones" -- though the latter might not really be "alternate history" per se, it's still a good read.

The Difference Engine is probably "the" SF/F "alt history" thing to read from recent memory, but although I've picked it up a dozen times over the years, I've never managed to get into it. Maybe soon. Gibson's short story (published in Burning Chrome) titled The Gernsback Continuum is also quite good, though again not really straight alt-history, more of a looking-at-it-out-of-the-corner-of-your-eye type of alt-history. (Which would be the kind I prefer.)

Also "The Cornelius Chronicles" by Michael Moorcock, but that work is...definitely for adults. And more character-driven than plot-heavy, which may not be what you are looking for, IDK. Dead-on deadeye satire, though. (Sorry to those who've read the series, the pun is unintended.)

Slaughterhouse Five by Vonnegut, could arguably be called alt-history. 1984 IS alt-history at this point, albeit long after the fact. And not really as "alternate" as one might like.....

Sorry, that's all I've got, but like I say, it's not really something I actively seek out to read.
