It's been a while since I read it but it was one of the books that first got me into philosophy when I was ~14 years old was The Philosophy Files by Stephen Law; it's aimed at a younger audience but if you're looking for something a little simpler it might be a good introduction. It's on Amazon.co.uk with cheap 2nd hand copies or apparently now on Kindle.
I'd also second /u/Savio's recommendation of Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy, which is a comprehensive look at (mostly) western European philosophy, from ancient Greek philosophy to the twentieth century. Unlike the above it's aimed at a mature audience but it's not overly complicated or too obscure.

'The Philosophy Files' (and sequel) contain some great beginner approaches to some of the big philosophical questions in an easy to digest form. I found them useful at 16-17 when at school, but they should be fine for a 15 year old.
