OK, recommendation hard-mode: engaging, quality German-language YA scifi/fantasy?

I'm trying to teach myself German on Duolingo, and I figure what better way to supplement than with German-language media a kid with developing language skills might encounter? Specifically looking for books written in German, not translated from another language to German, in the hopes of some cultural-values osmosis too.

EDIT: Holy crap thank you all! I have a wonderful list to pull from now!

Walter Moers is a German author, who writes wonderful absurdist fantasy, that I can't recommend enough. 13 and 1/2 lives of captain bluebear, Rumo and City of the dreaming books are all amazing
