Over the years of his life he has been on countless journeys and explorations, always returning with amazing stories and treasures. The only difference this time is that he hasn’t returned home yet.

Others say he is hoarding a lost but now found treasure on a remote island somewhere in the middle of the sea. As time goes by, it becomes more and more certain that he may not ever return. One day, months later, there is a knock at your door. When you open the door there is nothing except a crate full of small boxes and books, with a letter sitting on top. Could this be from your missing Grandpa Ope?
