Bradford Perry

Bradford Perry is a teacher, dad of four, and the creator of the SWAG series — where kid gamers get recruited as secret spies and things go sideways in the best possible way.

After 20+ years in classrooms watching kids light up over the right story (and shut down over the wrong one), Bradford set out to write books that even the kid who swears they hate reading will devour in one sitting. The result? S.W.A.G. — Special Weapons and Gamers — a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud series for reluctant readers ages 8–12.

Think Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets Spy School... with drones, Minecraft, Fortnite, foam dart warfare, and missions that absolutely should not be attempted at home.

The SWAG universe keeps growing: the original episodes, the Micro-Mission series, the Retro Series, and now classroom editions with built-in discussion questions and reading activities. Whether you're a kid looking for your next obsession or a teacher trying to hook that one student who won't touch a book — welcome to the team.

When Bradford isn't writing or teaching, he's probably on a skateboard, a bike, or filming a book trailer with a Nerf blaster. Mission status: always active.
