The Powder Monkeys

Hey everyone, a couple of weeks ago I showed you the first illustration of Captain Cranky from my new MG book, The Adventures of Captain Cranky - The King's Treasure. Now I'd like to show you some members of his crew.

These are the mischievous powder monkeys and they're responsible for manning and supplying the cannons with gunpowder.

The illustration is by Lori Escobar, who worked on my two previous books.

I'll be posting more about Cranky and his crew in the coming weeks.
