The Sweet Snack Swindle: A Sophia Snail Adventure teaches valuable life lessons by guiding students through a relatable classroom mystery that encourages thoughtful decision-making, honesty, and empathy. As Sophia searches for her missing snack, students learn to pause before making assumptions, work collaboratively to solve problems, take responsibility for their actions, and show kindness and forgiveness toward others—skills that support social-emotional growth both inside and outside of the classroom.
