Start with How To Design Programs., which is available as a free .pdf.
By the time that bores you, you'll likely have found other resources.

When my eldest started learning Racket, she had an introduction that
early on, had her doing an animation of a rocket taking off. She then
changed it to do other things with the rocket. Fun.

I thought that was a draft of HtDP, but I cannot find it any more. Is
that set of instructions still available? If so, where?

It seems to be the right almost-first program for someone who is
interested in writing computer games.
