SOLVED. Middle Grade Mystery. Boy possibly named after Edgar Allen Poe. [s]

[Darcey]

I read this book 2018-2019 I think, it was probably published 2000’s-2010’s. It was about a late elementary/early middle school boy who wanted to be a detective. I think he was named after Edgar Allen Poe, and he wrote poetry or maybe it was a school assignment. There was a mystery. The end had a glossary or author’s note about the Poe references. I think the cover was blue, maybe with a beige strip at the top/bottom. Someone might have been stealing from his classmates? The cover might have a bird/raven and/or a notebook.

It might be on this Edgar Allan Poe in YA & Middle Grade Fiction list

No, I checked earlier. Also I forgot to say it was contemporary.
