Introductory Group theory textbook 

I am an Indian student currently in the eleventh grade.I haven't yet learned calculus(I am learning it ) but I would also like to study a bit of Abstract Algebra by myself.Here is the context :
  What I plan to do is to take the theorems for a particular chapter and then try to prove them myself.If I am unable to do so after trying for a long time or I have managed to prove them rigorously,only after that will I refer to the text.So, can someone please tell the name of a well-structured book which isn't quite haphazard with good,tough problems.
Thank you.

REPLY [2 votes]: This is likely not going to be a popular suggestion, since it's relatively unknown, but I think the perfect book for you is Allan Clark's Elements of Abstract Algebra. 
It's a unique book that covers the basics of group theory, ring theory, and even a tiny bit of Galois Theory, but it does it almost entirely through problems. Every chapter begins with a short section defining some terms and giving a few basic proofs, and then it leads the reader through the rest of the exposition in a series of problems, some difficult, some not. The end result is that if you actually do all the problems, you've written the book yourself. It's impossible not to be comfortable with basic abstract algebra if you take this book seriously.
It's also probably the cheapest book on this entire list :)
