Adventure novel for young adults needs ghostwriter

In Progress Paid on delivery

I'm seeking a talented writer that can turn my old stage play into a novel for young adults. The book will probably end up at around 50.000 words, and be sold as an ebook.

The writer will use the plot, characters and backstory from the stage play, but there's much freedom in exploring the character's inner life and the settings - things that can be done in prose, but not on stage.

It's the story of a young girl that tries to use ancient magic on Halloween night to bring back her lost parents. But the magic fails, and the guardians of Time and Death are on her trail. She discovers the secret history of how Halloween came to be, a thousand years ago - as she meets the charming Jack, who claims that she is his long lost love.

Please leave a bid, references and examples of your writing!
