Help Me Find a Story Too

Black Sunshine’s thread reminded me of a story I have been looking for a while.

I read it during a summer class while I was in middle school. It’s a short story and, for some reason, I think Ray Bradbury wrote it (or maybe he didn’t). It takes place in mars and, I believe, the main character is a girl. The story has something to do with the long winters or nights in mars and how the kid had never seen summer or the sun (it’s one or the other, not both).

Any help would be great. I guess I’m getting nostalgic in my “old” age.

I’m only 22 by the way.

Guess we can close this thread. Writing the thread helped me remember it I guess… Anyway searching “ray bradbury” +“short story” +mars wasnt giving me the results because it takes place in Venus. Wonder what the story will be like 7 years since the last time i read it.

My gosh, how many times has that same story come up on the SDMB?

More often than summer days on Venus, that’s for damn sure.
