Don't forget to visit your local library or occult shop for other sources as well.
Advice:
Books are fantastic, and I completely endorse your decision to find some to help you in your pursuits. BUT: the internet also has a huge variety of information for free, that includes pdf documents, blogs, and just general websites; always remember to check their sources though
Advice for problems with parents:
Remember, you live under their roof; if they are uncomfortable with something, don't make it obvious you practice it. As you get older, you may not want to anways. But if you grow up, and this turns out to be what you love doing, then learn to subtly bring it up so one day you can fully tell them you are a practicioner. Considering you are most likely young, don't jump the gun just yet and scream it atop the mountains, wait patiently and let time take it's course.
Wicca for life by Raymond Buckland. there are little things here and there i disagree with, but it's a wonderful book written by a man who was trained by Gerald Gardner. it's very good.
[quick side note, saw a recent picture of Buckland, is it just me or is he looking more and more like Gardner each year?]
"Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioners" by Scott Cunningham
"Living Wicca: A Futher Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" by Scott Cunningham
"Wicca for Beginners" by Thea Sabin
"21st Century Wicca: A Young Witch's Guide to Living the Magical Life" by Jennifer Hunter
"The Craft: A Witch's Book of Shadows" by Dorothy Morrison
And a book that you might want to share with your parents to let them understand more about the religion of Wicca is "When Someone You Love is Wiccan" by Carl McColman.
