"Kwasa the Cliff Dweller" by Katherine Atherton Grimes is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. It tells the story of Kwasa, a young boy living in a cliff-dwelling village, and follows his adventures and the challenges faced by his community, particularly concerning threats from rival tribes. The book explores themes of bravery, community, and the significance of tradition in the lives of the cliff dwellers. The narrative revolves around Kwasa and his friend Wiki, who engage in games and explore their vibrant village while eagerly anticipating the planting season. As the story unfolds, danger looms with warnings of attacks from the Utes, necessitating preparations and alliances with neighboring clans. Kwasa is eventually chosen for a dangerous mission that brings him to the brink of death when confronted by Ute attackers. His bravery and the support of his friends, especially Sado and Ani, become pivotal to the survival of his people. The tale beautifully illustrates the interconnectedness of community, tradition, and courage amidst the challenges of their harsh environment. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
