"I'm looking for a middle-grade novel I read around 2023 (it could have been published earlier). It's written in first person or at least entirely from the main girl's perspective. A girl moves permanently to a small coastal town, possibly in Maine or New England, and lives in an old house. She starts seeing the ghost of an older woman, usually near a lighthouse and sometimes walking down the street. The ghost mostly communicates through dreams or visions. The story is more eerie and atmospheric than scary or detective-like—more "What is this place? Something feels wrong here." I vividly remember that the girl bonds with a local boy over custom Converse sneakers, and they both have collections of unique designs (I remember one pair possibly having navy-blue mountains on them). There is a graveyard scene, the girl sneaks out at night a few times, some friendship drama, and near the end there is a town event where the lighthouse is reopened or renovated after the haunting is resolved or the ghost is banished."
