Clean code and code complete are for developers with already a few years of experience.

You do not understand those concepts until you have basics of IDEs, patterns, software, code sharing, working in a team, and so on.

First books should be about learning what sofware is, how a computer works and a programming language with CS basics. I usually add some Logic gamification to prepare the future dev.

Sure. These aren't learn to code books, they are books for devs who are working and looking to level up.
