K&R The C Programming Language (LaTex edition)
I was inspired by what the guys did here https://github.com/sarabander/sicp-pdf with SICP. I think it was an impressive effort and the result was jaw-droppingly beautiful.

Not Lisp Again (2009)
It's also a freely-available book from MIT:

Texinfo version (recommended) and pretty PDF version:

How do you deal with immutable variables?
It's a pretty heavy book, but for FP you only really need the first chapter. You can get the book for free here, but there is a more readable modern version (same content, but nicer typesetting). You can also watch the recorded MIT class on Youtube if you learn better that way. The book uses Scheme as its language, but the ideas are applicable in any other language as well. I recommend doing the exercises because rewiring your brain is about practice. Don't let the size of the book intimidate you, you only need the first chapter, and if you are already familiar with programming you should be fine (SICP is written for people without programming experience).

Entire Computer Science Curriculum in 1000 YouTube Videos
A famous book on Scheme that is introductory but theory-focused is Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. It's a large book with a lot of exercises. It literally starts from zero and slowly teaches you how to build a programming language with metaprogramming. A great resource for newcomers that are interested in some more theoretical aspects of programming rather than "making mobile apps".

Ask HN: Does anyone Lisp without Emacs?
Racket (https://racket-lang.org) has an IDE (DrRacket) which isn't EMACS. ARC (which powers hacker news) is (was?) written in Racket.

Douglas Crockford, author of ‘Javascript: the good parts’ and ‘How Javascript works’ will be giving the keynote presentation From Here To Lambda And Back Again at the thirteenth RacketCon.
Nice! Repeating a comment I just made on HN: I signed up for RacketCon, will be joining remotely. I am looking forward to it a lot. Usually I use the Racket language perhaps for 10% of my personal projects, but I am currently writing a Racket AI book, so all things Racket are of current interest. Past RacketCons have been a lot of fun. I usually use Common Lisp, but Racket is batteries included Scheme, and more, and is a very pleasant language and ecosystem. Just in case you don’t have Racket installed: https://racket-lang.org/

Ask HN: What is the most suitable Scheme implementation to learn today?
I'd suggest Racket (https://racket-lang.org) which is a batteries-included language environment that includes scheme and has a lot of high-quality documentation.
Guile (https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/) isn't quite as learner-focused but is another great choice.

Setting up a Scheme coding environment in VS code?
The Racket fork of CS supports Apple Silicon natively, and can be installed independently: https://github.com/racket/racket/blob/master/racket/src/ChezScheme/BUILDING Chez adds a few features (threads, ffi, ...) to R6RS; there is a useful combined index to TSPL4 and the CS User Guide at http://cisco.github.io/ChezScheme/csug9.5/csug_1.html

Is SICP an overkill for a 14 year old?
If you're using SICP in Scheme (or are you doing the JS version?) then you may want to look at How to Design Programs. It uses Racket which is a Scheme descendent so much of the language you've learned in SICP will work in it without issue. It also has a pretty good set of GUI and drawing capabilities you can find through the Racket docs page and will use some of with HTDP.
What are some alternatives?
