If you had to explain, to someone who has never heard of imaginary numbers before, what "i" is, what would you say?

Depending on how you answer, we can give you a better suggestion.

If you're 16, my guess is you're looking for more "fundamental" ideas of complex numbers. While it is more a blend of history and math, Nahin's An Imaginary Tale provides some of the best fundamental-level understanding I've ever seen in some of the most accessible ways.
