You are a little bit careless with your English in places here. When summarising a story, it is particularly important to be really accurate in your expression, otherwise the story may not be clear to your readers. Here, you haven't quite got across the idea that on this world the sun only shines for one afternoon in every seven years.
You might say a little more about the themes of cruelty between children, and how much children hate being kept indoors by rainy weather.
