I would look into Michael Ende, author of The Neverending Story (and many other books). He writes childrens/YA books, but they can be enjoyed by any age, like Harry Potter. But just a note on The Neverending Story itself: if you get a good edition, the text is printed in different colors for different characters/stories. So if you have an e-ink reader, you will miss out on that.
I read some of Michael Ende's books in AP German in High School, along with "Der Richter und Sein Henker" which I also remember enjoying.
