Any ideas for a good book for a Catholic teen? Against our wishes, he has been put in a public school and has told me he is unhappy with the anti-Catholic bias in his history and other classes. He's 15 and wants to defend his faith. He is aware of the lies about the Crusades and Saint Junipero Serra.

Catholic Apologetics (https://isidore.co/calibre#panel=book_details&book_id=6960) by Fr. John Laux, M.A.:
No Catholic should pass beyond the age of 16 without being able to answer clearly, both to himself and to others, the challenges of those who do not believe in the existence of God, of Christ or the teachings of the Catholic Church. In this compact book, Fr John Laux gives both the student and the adult reader dozens of excellent, well reasoned answers to the classic objections against the Catholic Faith. He covers all the fundamental truths of the Faith. Providing both facts and sound logical reasoning for every question he considers. Every Catholic should have a firm grounding regarding the reasonableness of his beliefs, lest he fall victim to the superficial objections of of the world which have been refuted over and over again for years, even for centuries. From this book, the reader will derive the confidence that there are not only answers, but excellent, thought provoking, logical answers to any and all difficulties abut the Faith which may arise. Fr Laux's presentation is thus a powerful tool to help souls hold fast with firm confidence to their Faith which time and again has proved to be the bulwark of sanity in this world, as well as the inestimable Pearl of Great Price for which true believers will sacrifice anything to possess.

As a child I and the rest of the family used to sit glued to the radio on a Sunday evening to listen to Dr Rumble. He was brilliant.
But a word of warning about this particular collection. Would that it consisted only of Dr Rumble's talks. Unfortunately Dr Rumble's legacy is in the hands of ʝʊdɛօ-christians.
Observe the collection on Islam, none of which are by Dr R, then compare with the section
on judaism.

The very fact that he has asked for such a book is a good sign. He is a young man with a backbone, a rare commodity in our time.
