The Trouble with Uncle by Babette Cole

Uncle is a pirate, although not a very good one. The yacht club doesn't want him, and the marina isn't a good place for his pirate ship. His good luck starts to turn when he is given a honest-to-god treasure map by one of his pirate friends at the Blind Pue. Uncle and his niece, the book's narrator, search for buried treasure, rescue a movie star, and meet a mermaid.
The silliness is depicted throughout the book. For example, the mermaid has curlers in her hair and Uncle is always saying "Aghaa!" instead of "Arr!" This book is great for kids of all ages.
