All Summer in a Day
Author: Ray Bradbury
Publication Date: 1954


Blurb (GR):  Margot is a nine year old girl whose family moved from Earth to Venus when she was four. She remembers the sun shining on Earth – something that it rarely does on Venus. All of the rain and cloud cover on her new planet are affecting her emotions, but her chance to see the sun once again is quickly approaching. The story takes place on the one day when the rain will stop and the sun will shine for a couple of hours. All of the children in Margot’s class are eagerly awaiting their first glimpse of the sun, but when the teacher leaves for a few minutes they decide to pull a very mean prank on Margot.

Review: Ray Bradbury broke my heart in four pages. Poor Margot, kids can be such assholes sometimes.

Available online many places; Here's one of them.
