Who is the author of Billy Elliot?

I'm trying to buy the ACTUAL book, not the Elton John one. When I search for it there are 2 books, one by Lee Hall, and one by Melvin Burgess. Which one is the correct one? Or are they different?Who is the author of Billy Elliot?
First came the movie in 2000. It was written by Lee Hall. Melvin Burgess was hired to write a novelization of that screenplay. So the "book" was written by Melvin Burgess, but the original story was written by Lee Hall. You probably can't easily get a copy of the screenplay.Who is the author of Billy Elliot?
Actually, Billy Elliot is an original film. Lee Hall wrote the script for the film. After the film came out, Melvin Burgess wrote a book based off the screenplay.



So, like I said, it's originally a film. It's not based off a book.

I recommend the film as well, it's great and a personal favorite!
