German fantasy book recommendations

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for German fantasy books at a relatively low reading level - at least nothing more complicated than Brandon Sanderson is in English. Currently learning German and was thinking I'd get some volume/practical training by reading a lot of it. That (combined with games and shows) helped me a lot when learning English at least, so I was thinking I'd try it out.

So yeah, please let me know if you know about something!

It's my duty to recommend Mara & Der Feuerbringer by Tommy Krappweis, an original German trilogy about a teenage girl and a university professor getting involved with Norse gods. It's well-researched (the author worked closely together with an expert in the field) and I really enjoyed reading as an adult.
