"Thinking Physics" by Lewis Carroll Epstein

You can't go wrong with Richard Feynman's "Six Easy Pieces": https://www.amazon.com/dp/0465023924/?tag=pfamazon01-20 You can find this book in most bookstores like "Barnes and Noble".

Possibly the most famous physics lecturer of all time. You should get acquainted with Richard Feynman as soon as possible, he has changed many lives and is one of the most famous figures in physics (of course you will only be able to experience his writing/lectures/youtube videos/etc. He died in 1988.) I encourage you to youtube him if you're not sold. Here is just a sample:

Sorry for my indoctrination heh.. You won't be sorry ;)

"Understanding Physics" by Isaac Asimov:

If the price for a new copy is too high, you should be able to find a good used copy at the above page.

"Conceptual Physics" by Paul G. Hewitt

Well I'm in year 10, I really recommend learning at least single-variable calculus before starting physics, so you understand where the physics equations you're using come from and you will be able to apply them better, and you will be much further ahead than people a few years ahead of you. Any Calculus textbook is good, since they've taken many years to perfect them, since most people suck at it :>

After learning single-variable calculus buy "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" By Paul. A. Tipler - It's a very good book for studying physics, it's pretty much a first year undergraduate physics textbook but is really good for people who know at least single-variable calculus. I finished it a while ago, so have a crack at it. This is a lot of work, so hopefully you're dedicated.

If not and you just want to read about it, buy "Understanding Physics" by Isaac Asimov, it's such a good book and it's good for people around your age. Good luck my fellow scientist!
