Jim Osterhouse's "Faith Unfolded" is a really helpful and fairly short explanation of the Doctrines of Grace. It's not necessarily geared for youth, but is very accessible - it even has study questions so you could study this together as a group. When I was in high school I was pretty upset by the "unfairness" of the doctrine of election, until I read R.C. Sproul's "Chosen By God". Its also not geared for youth, but I read it as a teenager - as did both of my teenage children. Sproul does a great job of demonstrating that the doctrine of election is not only not "unfair", but also a beautiful doctrine that leads to praise. Of course, the best reading material on election would be Ephesians 1-2, Romans 9, 1 Peter 1, and pretty much the rest of the Bible! :)
