Hey guys I need a recommendation for a C or C++ book for a kid. My wife's son is about 13 right now, and lately he been showing interest in cs. You guys know any good intro books for someone his age?

My stepson likes Minecraft more than is humanly healthy so I tried to ease him into programming by giving him K&R for his 14th birthday. I'm not sure if he's even opened it yet.
I really want to limit his gaming time so he'll focus on what's important but his mother doesn't seem to care.

I wouldn't try to limit him, its never works. How about you try to make some minrcraft scripts/plug-ins instead? He will be interested in that, and that could lead a path to other programming
I think Visual Basic, PHP, or Java might be easier for the kid tho. Even C#.

Look into the "head first" books, I had one in college for an intro to OOP course and it handled the material well for beginners imo
