Alright, I've tried this in the past on here but not in this forum so maybe I'll have better luck. This book couldn't have been written later than mid-80s as I read it as a kid right around then, it was your typical Ace paperback fantasy-type novel only surprisingly well-written. It was about a red-headed girl wizard and a boy with a (cursed?) sword with three gems on the hilt, all blue (or red). The sword can apparently grant wishes as they both touch it at the same time with the girl wishing she could do magic better and the boy wishing she'd be more drat polite (she was a bit of a bitch). There's a zap and then later on the girl apologizes to him and suddenly she casts a kickass spell or something. They decided the sword had compromised as best it could with their mutual wishes. Anyway they are on a quest to do something regarding this sword (the boy is, I forget how the girl fits in I think he just meets her on the way) and at the end of the book one of the gems in the hilt turns red (or blue, whichever color it wasn't before while the other two remain the original color) which to me indicated that there were probably going to be two more books in a kind of trilogy to 'fix' or 'uncurse' or whatever the sword. That's all I know.

Cheaper by the Dozen would be my guess if it was set in a kind of Victorian/early 20th century era.

The second one sounds like Power of Three from Diana Wynne Jones.
