W. Bradford Swift writes visionary fiction of the fantasy and science fiction variety for children and young adults to inspire them to become joyful lifelong readers by introducing them to the pure pleasure of reading. Swift believes reading for pleasure stretches the imagination of young readers in ways that TV, movies, or video games do not. He also loves to encourage young people to write their own stories, knowing that some of them will grow into the world’s future authors as he did. As a former small animal veterinarian, animals often play an important role in his stories.

The Zak Bates Eco-adventure Boxset includes:
Ra-Kit's Initiation (A Prequel)
How does an orphan kitten grow up to be the last living magic cat?
A prequel to the Zak Bates Eco-Adventure series
Ra-Kit claims to be the last living magic cat. But where did Ra-Kit's magic come from? Is she really five hundred years old or is that just part of the mythology she's woven for herself? What did Ra-Kit have to do to be initiated into the secret clan of magic cats?
Dominion Over All
When the last living magic cat and her flying canine companion show up on your doorstep, you don't expect things to get any stranger!
Despite running his own zoo, Zak Bates considers himself pretty normal for a thirteen-year-old. Visited by Ra-Kit, a scruffy feline with some serious catnip issues, he's ill-prepared for the life-or-death assignment that follows. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Zak must represent the Animal Kingdom at a United Nations Conference on Global Warming, convince the world government to stop poisoning the planet, broker interspecies peace, and diffuse an impending, bloody rebellion—just a bit harder than algebra!
Endangered
Protecting the planet: a thankless job and one that has no breaks!
For Zak Bates and his magical friends, the next eco-adventures is usually right around the corner. In Zanesville, Ohio, a dangerous menagerie has escaped from a private preserve, and the situation threatens to spiral out of control. Francis, a spirit bear from British Columbia is being held captive, and, to free him, the Eco-Adventurers will need to align with Chatters, a white (knight) squirrel.
Ghost Elephant
In plundering the planet's treasures, men may gather riches, but more profound wealth is lost...
Nia Gaines is the newest member of Zak Bate's Eco-Adventure task force—it's only, she doesn't know it yet. When Nia's parents drag her along on a business trip to China, the source of their affluence soon becomes clear: ivory, prized since ancient times for its beauty and never before so rare. In Beijing's back-alley curio shops, the prices are great...but what's the cost? The answer will change Nia's world.
Along with the Eco-team, her journey will shed light on the darkest facets of humankind...but, even poachers have families to feed, and no solution is simple. What can be done to promise peace for man and those at his mercy?
Junkyard Dogs
Ready for a doggone great adventure?
EmBARK today!
As the head of an eco-team that's been tasked to overcome global warming and protect endangered species, Zak Bates is as busy as ever. Despite much help from a truly stellar multi-species coterie, his life, in a word, is wild, and it seems that things are about to get hairier.
When the eco-team receives word from the Council of Animals of the Spiritual Frontier about a curious disturbance amongst New York's animal population, it soon becomes clear that something truly sinister is afoot—or apaw—and, worse, the plague is prodigious.
BONUS: Ra-Kit Takes on a Sidekick. Inspired by real events.
