Good learner book for a 12 year old?

My 12 year old brother has recently expressed an interest in learning to program. I of course think this is a great idea, why not start him early? I'm wondering what you guys think with regards a book? I was thinking I should start him off on Java but I'm unsure what book would be best? Any suggestions with regards a book or even another language would be much appreciated.

UPDATE: I've went with Python and I'm starting him off with "Snake wrangling for kids".


I found Python to be really easy to learn at first. This is a great, fun book for it. Just make sure he has fun!


Lego Mindstorms? http://mindstorms.lego.com Not a book but might be a more fun introduction to programming for a 12 year old.


Head First Java is a great book for any new Java programmer. It has lots of pictures, fun quips and puzzles to solve. Definitely worth the buy.
