All Summer in a Day

How would you feel if you and your family moved to Venus, where it rains all day. You would rarely get to see the sun.Well in All Summer in a Day, that is what happened to a girl named Margot. Her classmates hated her because she has had the opportunity to experience full days of sun, while they lived on Venus all their lives.
This might sound strange, but what if this story were set in the past, rather than the future. I learned that Venus probably once had large amounts of water on it, like Earth, but it all boiled away. I also learned that Venus has somewhat of a green house effect, which may have contributed to the fact that it got so hot. So maybe this story is coming from the idea that Venus may have been inhabitable before the greenhouse effect caused the temperature to rise. In this case, it would be set in the past.
