Buttonwharf Hollow
Mina
“A 22cm-tall child with bright eyes, a striped shirt, and a satchel full of little found objects.”
Mina is a small, quick-witted child who fits comfortably in a grown-up's apron pocket. She loves noticing tiny patterns and half-hidden things, and she can’t stand the feeling that something important has been overlooked.

A toy boat that was lost under a bench returns at high tide carrying a button from a real boat nobody has seen all morning. The hollow must decide whether to follow the tiny boat’s route before the river turns.
