As an adult, I think Graves' books are the best (they were recently compiled into a single trade paperback edition), but when I was in high school, I learned a lot from Bulfinch, and his edition is very readable for a young teen. I might be wrong, but I think he skips some of the saucier myths such as Leda and the swan, as well as the more insidious elements of the labyrinth myth (i.e.: how the minotaur came to be...).
