The Margaret A. Edwards Award is awarded annually to an author for a specific body of his or her work, which has made a significant and lasting contribution to young adult literature.[1] It recognizes an author's work in helping adolescents become aware of themselves and addressing questions about their role and importance in relationships, society, and in the world.[1] It was named for twentieth-century American librarian Margaret A. Edwards.[2] First presented in 1988, the award is administered by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) a division of the American Library Association (ALA) and is sponsored by the School Library Journal. Recipients are presented with a citation at a luncheon during the ALA annual conference in July along with a cash prize of $2,000.[1] In the past 22 years (1988–2009), 21 authors have been honored with the award.[3]
