Intro Books on Quantum Mechanics for High Schoolers

AI Thread Summary
For those interested in quantum mechanics (QM), several introductory books are recommended for high school students seeking a challenge. The Feynman Lectures on Physics and "Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals" are noted as valuable resources. Additionally, works by comedian Ben Miller, particularly "It's Not Rocket Science," are suggested for their humorous yet informative approach. These texts provide a balance of accessibility and depth, making them suitable for casual reading while still engaging with complex concepts. Exploring these options can enhance understanding and enjoyment of quantum mechanics.

Could anyone give advice as to what are some good introduction books/textbooks to read. I have been really interested in QM for a while, figure I'd go away from Wikipedia and Lectures. I am a high schooler, so something more suitable for free time would be helpful. I wouldn't mind a little challenge (most math is fine). All I have gotten my hands on was a used copy of the Feynman Lectures and "QM and Path integrals." Thanks a lot.
