What are some not hard to understand, beginner philosophy books for teenagers?

I'm 17 and I just wanna get into philosophy so can you guys recommend some books that are rather easy to understand

Sophie's world was a real delight and an entertaining and engaging introduction to philosophy.

Old spec AS and A2 philosophy books are actually really quite good for the fundamentals of ethics and philosophy of religion.

Very short introduction series are good covering multiple areas of philosophy.

I feel like we have had this convo before, but Haner resolutely is not a philosopher

My ethics teacher recommended to my class to read "the ones who walk away from omelas" as a quick introduction to utilitarianism. Some of Carl Jung's work is pretty interesting but I guess that it's more psychology related. Hope this helps!

idk, I just watch youtube videos about philosophy sometimes- einzelganger or school of life. The books are too hard to understand for me and I dont have the attention span for books.
