What are some good MG books with a big twist?

I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say When You Reach Me has a twist at the end, since the whole premise is her trying to figure out who’s writing her letters. Still, the ending genuinely caught me off guard and was so much, it remains one of my favorite twists ever.

Please recommend me some more! But please don’t spoil anything hahaha just knowing there’s a twist is enough for me

Summer camp

I just finished "Firefly Summer" by Morgan Matson. What a wonderful read! I struggle to choose what to read next. Inevitably, when you finish an extraordinary book, the next one disappoints. Any recommendations? I've recently read all the Ponti books and Reynolds track team books (all superior books on finding and working with your tribe). I want to continue with a good summer-themed read, preferably with a map.
