Gemma and the Pirate
Gemma is a young girl who discovers that she has the ability, though no control over it, to travel in time. On her travels she meets and befriends, a slightly incompetent pirate, with an inexplicable inability to read land based maps.
The result of his inability is that if he buries his any of his treasure, he is unable to find it again. To avoid this he keeps everything on board ship, which after a while becomes overloaded and sinks, forcing him to steal another ship.
