![]() ![]() ![]() This is only the first in a series of stories that Elizabeth creates. On the train, Elizabeth feels that the only way to celebrate the uniqueness of this trip with her brother is for them to change their names Elizabeth becomes Geeder and John is to answer to Toeboy. Elizabeth's unexpected relationship with Zeely, the daughter of Nat Tayber, who rents a small part of Uncle Ross's farm, gives Elizabeth an opportunity to find out what he meant. The trip was special because Elizabeth and her brother went alone and because their father had hinted that something was going to happen that Elizabeth must take care of. Virginia Hamilton's first book for children, Zeely (1967) tells the story of the summer that a young African American girl, Elizabeth, spends with her brother John at their Uncle Ross's farm. ![]()
