Mr. Sweeney

Mr. Sweetney was Sophie's high school senior teacher. He is in the beginning of book 1 before Sophie moves to the Lost Cities. He had taken Sophie's class to the Natural History Museum in Balboa Park when Sophie met Fitz for the first time.

At the beginning of book 1, Mr. Sweetney had caught Sophie listining to her iPod instead of paying attention to the lecture about dinosaurs. He made her awnser a question about how the Lambeosaurus differs from the other dinosaurs the class had studied. Sophie awnsered with ease, thanks to her photographic memory and the information card she had glanced at when she had entered the museum. After that, Mr. Sweetney mumbles something that sounded like "know-it-all" to Sophie.
