Request #385 From Erin

1)  A sci-fi novel set in what seems to be a school, with various children who maybe have physical difficulties / differences and maybe superpowers? At the end, I seem to recall we discover (along with the child protagonist) that there has been a nuclear war and this is a closed community of survivors while the outside world is devastated.

2) A fantasy novel set in a watery world of islands inhabited only by women. I think they had purple skin (?) and travelled to each other’s islands by boat. At the end of the book, the men arrive and basically ruin everything by bringing war.
