A woman returns home and begins unraveling long-buried family secrets in this captivating novel of time travel, love, and legacy from the New York Times bestselling author of the Graceling Realm series.

In her mid-thirties, newly single and at loose ends, Matilda Frost has come home again. Settling back into a life she thought she’d outgrown, all she wants to do is hide from the world and devote her attention to building the miniature house she has been meticulously at work on.

Around her, things are largely the same. Her sister is still a force of nature. Her brother is still estranged, his whereabouts unknown. And her relationship with her best friend, Max, is still complicated; now back in each other’s orbit, old feelings might be resurfacing. But most familiar of all, her grandfather’s shadow still looms large over the house and the town. Decades ago, Grandfather Winthrop invented time-travel. His miraculous time-box stopped working when he died, and scientists have yet to figure out why.

When her beloved Uncle Ant disappears, Matilda realizes that in order to find him, she may need to dig into some of her grandfather's deepest-held secrets. But Grandfather Winthrop might not be the only family member with things to hide. . . .

“A whimsical, memorable tale offering a confection of family drama, slow-burn romance, and a time-bending mystery.”
—Nikki Erlick, New York Times-bestselling author of The Measure and The Poppy Fields

“In The Traveling House, Kristin Cashore proves herself to be a master of the impossible. She grounds the dizzying concept of time travel in such fun, modern detail that you'll swear every word is true. Written with a clever and inventive heart, this book is a rare, spectacular joy. Matilda is a protagonist you will want to follow across any timeline.”

“Whenever I begin reading a novel by Kristin Cashore, I know that I'm about to enter a meticulously crafted world in which the smallest detail could hold the deepest meaning. The Traveling House is a marvelous puzzle box, full of delights to discover and mysteries to unravel, but it never loses sight of the real world. This is a story about time travel, but it's also about the complicated layers of family secrets and how they reverberate across time. The Traveling House is a jewel of a book.”
—Malinda Lo, New York Times bestselling author of Last Night at the Telegraph Club

“With precision and heart, Cashore has built an entire spectacular universe in her new novel. At once grounded and staggering, THE TRAVELING HOUSE is a book to get lost in, to delight in, and to be changed by. A stunning story.”
—Corey Ann Haydu, award-winning author of Mothers and Other Strangers

“A time travel story with twists and turns you’ll never see coming and a tremendous amount of heart. Cashore’s exploration of generational trauma healed something within me. I can’t tell you how many tears were spilled.”
