The cost of Boarding Schools for troubled teens.

We adopted our granddaughter when she was 18 months old. She is now 15 and we are having a terrible time. She goies and comes as she pleases she calls us names, won't help around the house. She hates my husband and treats him terribly. I thought maybe a boarding school for troubled teens might help but then I found out the cost. $2500 down and $8,000 per month. A normal working person can't afford these prices. We have tried counseling but she refuses to go. Do you have any recomendations of schools that I might be able to send her to? The problem is a lot worse than there is space here to write about. I don't want to lose her to drugs or a gang.

But, she make friends with the three Kavanaghs from Ireland, with Myra Drury from Lancashire, and with a boy called Hugo, who is instrumental in starting them off on a very originl treasure hunt...
