Here's another one from the What's The Name of That Book group:
"I'm looking for information on a (possible) trilogy of books I read when I was in high school. I believe the author's last name began with "M", but I could be completely wrong - I remember finding the books while perusing the shelves near "McKillip". The main plot centered around a number of children in a maritime location. Through the use of some artifact, they travel in time. The artifact is not reliable, though, and does not bring them to predictable points in time. The one adult I remember from the books is the crazy uncle(?) of one of the children. "
(view spoiler)[The main female character is a teenage girl (guessing 13-16) who for some reason makes the last trip through time alone. While on the trip she meets a boy and they develop deep feelings for each other (I remember it being pretty chaste). When she inevitably gets back to her own time, she discovers that the boy she left behind grew into the "crazy uncle" who became crazy from traveling through time looking for her (hide spoiler)]
