Summary: "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.
