SOLVED. YA Fiction about a rebellious girl who goes to live with another family. Read around 2007-2009. [s]

I read a book from the public library (Australia) about a girl who was quite rebellious and didn't behave well at home. She gets sent to live somewhere else (possibly with family?) and they are religious. They change her name to a "biblical" name, I believe it was Esther and at first she refuses to answer to it but then she gets used to it over time. It was centered on how she adapted to living with this family and from memory ends up enjoying their way of life. I remember at one point they make a big deal about going out, perhaps for fish and chips? Thanks in advance!!

No worries, I'm glad I could help. It's a well-known YA here in NZ.
