There Are No Electrons
There Are No Electrons is an endearingly goofy book that attempts to explain electronics by setting up a world of tiny green creatures who talk like stoned beatniks and follow the rules of electronics to get around (mainly, they are after females of their species). Amdahl does a great job of explaining concepts like capacitance, inductance, and impedance.
Amdahl eventually does resort to presenting standard electronics and schematics, but by the time you get there, you'll have a good feel for it. I think high school age kids and up would appreciate this. Link
