Preferably ones without insane amounts of math.

Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications by Nouredine Zettili is informative and very thorough but it is pretty advanced. It does lay out practical applications of quantum mechanics which is cool.

Okay, and when you say advanced, do you mean as in math, or just the concepts?

Actually this one has a good bit of math in it, I didn't see your post while I was typing.

Oh well, I'll just try to work around the math. Thanks!

If you want one that is slightly more introductory than try Quantum Physics: Demystified by David McMahon.

I got that from the library and the math in that just made me want to hide. I'm in 8th grade.

Wow impressive, I'm in 9th grade actually and I can handle most of the math in that book (not in the first book I mentioned though ha) but math isn't everyone's strong suit and I still don't like it. If you want purely theoretical book try Many worlds? : Everett, Quantum Theory, and reality for something mind boggling with less math.

What level math is that? I thought it was like college+

No Its like 11 grade through maybe freshmen year of collage. To be more exact there were a few mathematical concepts I had lots of difficulty with but I understood the concepts.

But no the Many Worlds? Book has advanced math but it's not really necessary to understand all the theorys.

I see. Well thanks! I'll check it out.

O yes I forgot to mention, despite the fact that book is great you may get tired of it because it only explores one theory, it doesn't talk about bubble universes or string theory, and if you try it and don't like it...... There is always the internet which when used correctly can be a source of credible information ;)

True, but I'm not good at reading stuff like that. I don't know why. I can get any book and understand just fine, but when it come to Wikipedia I'm just like "wut?"

Actually in a way thats a good thing, most people are not very good at processing information from books so I suppose you have an advantage in that area, if you think very visually like me than videos are also good because they give a good visual representation of a complicated concept.

Are you familiar with Brady Haran? He has some cool Youtube channels.

I wow its ironic you mention him because I just finished watching a numberphile video.
