The Margaret A. Edwards Award, established in 1988, honors an author, as well as a specific body of his or her work, for significant and lasting contribution to young adult literature.
Jason Reynolds is a poet and novelist whose infectious enthusiasm for the written and spoken word--and for the young readers for whom he writes--has made him an award-winning author and an in-demand speaker across the United States. Reynolds, who admitted that he had never read an entire book from start to finish until he was nearly 18, writes for children who usually do not always see their own lives reflected in the books they are given to read. -- ALA
