The Edgar Allan Poe Awards (popularly called the Edgars ), named after Edgar Allan Poe , are presented every year by the Mystery Writers of America .[ 1] They remain the most prestigious awards in the entire mystery genre.[ 2] The award for Best Young Adult Mystery was established in 1989 and recognizes works written for ages twelve to eighteen, and grades eight through twelve.[ 3] Prior to the establishment of this award, the Mystery Writers of America awarded a special Edgar to Katherine Paterson for The Master Puppeteer in 1977.
