¡Oh, no! Tengo un boleto Quito-Miami-Boston.
Help. Help.
I've been looking for these two books forever.
1. This book was probably an early readers or middle grade book. It had something to do with magic and learning magic; there may have been a witch in it. A spell was to recite the alphabet backwards (and this is how I learned to do that). The book must have been published before 1987, and it may have been old when I read it.
2. This book was shelved with YA before there was YA. A young woman is involved in "the game," and people who can play the game are considered of a higher class than others. I recall that the game had something to do with music, but it was also not clear what exactly the game was, because the main narrator was a boy who wasn't able to understand and/or play the game. The boy and girl leave the sheltered and nice environment where the people who play the game get to live and head out into a dystopian world. At one point, they eat rabbit meat from a street vendor, and I'm fairly certain they'd never eaten meat before.
Do you recognize either?
Today got eaten and I have so much I haven't completed yet. *headcutoffchickens*
