The tittle speaks for it self. I just picked up a series of not very long books only about 200-400 pages each, and I absolutely love them. The first in the series is called the Water Mirror, and it's actually translated from German. It's full of adventure and interesting characters and an unfolding plot. I couldn't put it down and finished it in one day.

The plot follows a young orphan girl in Venience who along with her blind friend are accepted into an apprenticeship to a magic mirror maker(Yes it sounds like some sort of harry potter rip off but trust me it isn't). The mirror maker lives across form the silk maker who they have a competition with. At some point the orphan girl and one of the silk makers apprentices(you guessed it he's the love interest) start to get friendly. Turns out he used to be a master thief, and after getting wind of a supposed meeting with an Egyptian (which at this point the Egypt and Venience and enemies) they go out to search for it. This throws both their lives into an adventure as a plot to take over Venience is uprooted and much adventuring happens. .... So yes, if you ever get the chance to read this book. It's just so filled with magic that if I told you about it all it would give away the entire plot.
