Is the undercover economist or principles of economics a better introductory book?

Hey guys, I'm in highschool and just had my first economics class this year and found it fascinating. However, the pace we're going at makes a glacier look like a formula 1 racing car, we barely did anything more than supply and demand. Apparently we'll only get to Keynes by the end of the second to last year ): I've watched crash course economics  up to episode 15 which I like, but I think I'll finish it soon, so I wanted a little bit more of a challenge. 

I found that the two best introductory books were Mankiws' 'Principles of Economics' and Hayfords 'The Undercover Economist'. But which one is better for someone like me?

Both are good books, the biggest difference is just the type of book. Mankiw's book is a textbook typically used for intro econ classes in undergrad. It's relatively thorough, for better and for worse. Harford's book is meant to be more interesting.

So I'd say it just depends what you want. Mankiw's book will be more comprehensive, but it might be a dry read if you don't love the topic. Harford's book is more likely to keep you engaged, but it won't cover the topics with the same rigor or formality. Depending on how much enthusiasm you have, you can decide what book to go with.
