The Mysterious Backpack

Last autumn, thirteen-year-old Max moved to a new town with his family. He didn't know anyone at his new school, and the first days were quite difficult for him. One rainy afternoon, while walking home from school, Max noticed a black backpack lying near a bus stop. There was nobody around.

Max picked it up and looked inside. There were some books, a notebook, and an old silver key. He waited for a while, hoping that the owner might come back, but nobody appeared. So he decided to take the backpack home and try to find the owner.

That evening, Max opened the notebook. On the first page, he saw a name: Oliver Grant. There were also strange drawings of a big house and a garden. The next day, Max showed the backpack to his teacher, who helped him find Oliver's contact information in the school records.

When Max finally met Oliver, he learned that Oliver had lost the backpack two days earlier and was very worried about the key. It was the key to his grandfather's old house — a place full of family memories.

Oliver was so happy to get his backpack back that he invited Max to visit the house with him. That was the beginning of a strong friendship. Soon, Max no longer felt lonely in his new town.

Where did Max find the backpack?
