I study in the eleventh grade. Please suggest a book.

And it shouldn't be too expensive.

Look for real textbooks. You do not need a website, but still some of the online videos can help. For real textbooks, look for used, old books from authors like Larson & Hostetler, or Auffman & Barker.
 
Actually, I have a textbook.
I didn't phrase the first post and the title of this thread properly. :P
