Physics Textbooks

What are some good Physics books for a highschooler?
Besides the Physics textbook what some other books on Physics? Thanks.
What kind of physics do you want to learn about? Your textbook gives you a good overview. Other books go into detail on a particular subject.
My favorite “touchy-feely” physics book is “The Way Things Work” David Macaulay
It’s all about how cavemen invented these tools to do all these jobs. And everything involves a mammoth. Even the mammoth-shaped nuclear reactor. It’s hilarious, and the physics is decent.
