Quick recap

Hannah is bored on summer break in Greenwood Falls when a new boy, Danny, moves into the house next door, which seemed empty. He keeps disappearing, and Hannah suspects he's a ghost. Danny falls in with two troublemakers who vandalize Mr. Chesney's place. When Hannah confronts him, his hand passes through her chest. The truth lands midway: Hannah is the ghost, killed years ago with her family in a fire started by her own campfire. The boys set Mr. Chesney's house ablaze, Danny gets trapped, and Hannah goes in to save him. Then she slowly fades, hearing her parents call her, and asks Danny not to forget her.
