Catholics should have a Catholic bible, because it will include all the books.

The NABRE (New American Bible - Revised Edition) probably would be best.

Released on March 9, 2011, the New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE) is the culmination of nearly 20 years of work by a group of nearly 100 scholars and theologians, including bishops, revisers and editors. The NABRE includes a newly revised translation of the entire Old Testament (including the Book of Psalms) along with the 1986 edition of the New Testament.

The Ignatius Bible mentioned above is also good. It’s the RSV version. I think that the NABRE will be somewhat similar because of the revisions. The NABRE would likely be easier for a young person to read.
