Educational books on finance/banking

What would be the best books to read as a high school student to get a grasp on the world of finance/banking. To learn how this whole system works. I don’t want to get into something not worth it while interning and hope to start early in a “sector” that I know fits me the best. Set on staying in the game for the long term, so eventually want to start a thing of my own.
