Any decent introduction to special relativity should cover it. I don't know how technical you are, though. If you're mathematically inclined, Taylor and Wheeler's Spacetime Physics is an awesome book. A lot cheaper and pretty accessible would be Relativity: A Very Short Introduction

The Feynman Lectures are a perfect introduction to physics from high school level all the way up to degree level.

A good understanding of maths is essential to more advanced physics and there is an excellent textbook written by two extremely qualified headmaster's called The Language Of Physics: A Foundation for University Study which is what's recommended to first year University students and poses questions at the end of each chapter.

If you're looking for something a little less intimidating, then the A Very Short Introduction series have a perfect range of short (and cheap!) books on Physics: [Quantum Theory]

Physics is an extremely interesting subject to read around and I wish you the best with it :)
