This Never Happens in the City

The main character in the story is named Grace. She spends her winters in the city and spends the sunny months of the summer in the country. Even though the city and the country are not too far away in geography, they are very different in the way they look and feel. Grace is a little girl who loves the bustle of New York City. She's a city girl. But when her parents decide to start going out to the country for the summer, she's in for a big change!
