The Earthsea trilogy by Ursula Le Guin is another one (there are also books beyond the first three now, but they're more targeted at older readers).

  Now every petal of the rose has a name. . .

    Every? Not sure I get the reference... IIRC, the name for rabbit was kebbo or something like that, so if you called out the true name for rabbit, any and all rabbits would be affected. This would then hold for petals as well?

      Just one of the “scenes” I remember from the book - naming every single petal from some flower. Also, the secret to exiting the school (getting past the guardian) was pretty cool.

        Indeed! Great books :)

  Definitely! I revisit these every decade or so, and each time I think "wow, I really didn't get this the last time I read it."
