I beg to differ: for all its qualities, Eloquent JavaScript is not a very beginner-friendly book. It goes quite deep into many JS intricaties and contains a lot of challenging tasks for people just discovering programming.

More beginner-focused alternatives are https://www.freecodecamp.org and https://thejsway.net.

Disclaimer: I've been teaching programming professionally for 15+ years and wrote the latter.
