Recommended reading list for secondary school student

In summary, the speaker is looking for suggestions of engaging books about physics suitable for a 13 year old child living in the UK. They do not enjoy reading revision guides or textbooks and prefer books like A Short History Of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. They have tried looking on Amazon and book recommendation sites, but have only found revision guides, textbooks, and university/college books.

Hey, I'm new here and didn't know where to post this thread but I decided to post it in the homework and coursework questions part although this isn't about homework. My question is, what are some good books about physics that are on a secondary school (UK) level which I can read that is fun and engaging? I don't like reading revision guides or textbooks since I don't really learn from them but I enjoy reading books like A Short History Of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson since they engage me. I tried looking on Amazon and book recommendation sites but they are all revision guides, textbooks, or university/college books which I don't fully understand. Please give some suggestions of engaging books about physics suitable for a 13 year old child living in the UK.
