Story of a little girl on Jupiter that might’ve been part of an English language arts textbook from the 2000s
I read this story around 2007 as part of a United States middle school English class curriculum. I’m not sure if it was part of a workbook or reading comprehension guide, but I seem to remember there being questions and places for reflection at the end of the story, like we were able to Write our thoughts on the book itself.
Anyways, I remember that the main character was living on Jupiter, and had spoken/bragged a lot about witnessing sunlight on earth as a small child, so much so that all of her Jupiter native classmates got annoyed and locked her in a closet or a store room while everyone else went out to enjoy the rare sunshine that had come to the typically stormy planet.
It’s possible that the story took place on another planet in our solar system, like Venus, but I’m pretty sure it was Jupiter, and although I remember the story from some kind of lesson book, it’s entirely possible that it was a short story/Novella before hand . Obviously, I would love to know the name and author, but I’d also be happy knowing that someone else remembers this story existing.
