When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
Book 1 is either Marco's Millions or The Boxes by William Sleator. They're the same series, though each can be read independently.
The second, unless I miss my guess, is one of the books from The Un Magician series, which has recently been republished as Magic Zero.
I just checked out both books - The first was definitely Marco's Millions, and the second was indeed from the Un-magician (officially called Outcast) specifically book 2 (cover matches my memory!)
Thank you!

I have two books I'm looking for: The first is about a brother and a sister who find a parallel world where time moves much more slowly than on Earth, and is accessed by crawling through somewhere. The brother ends up staying in the parallel world to save it (with a giant swing), while his sister stays on earth and grows old.
The second is a part of a series, I believe. The cover had a humanoid dragon on it chained up and kneeling. I don't remember much of the plot, except that the main character was a boy raised on an island, was anti-magic in a world full of magic, and befriended a dragon when dragons were persecuted.
