in my opinion you don't need a book, you just need to practice. try codewars for instance. lots of very simple exercises. just dive in. google when you get stuck, hit the java docs, etc.

Java: A Beginner's Guide, Sixth Edition by Herbert Schildt - Is a good reference for a beginner, and is published by Oracle.

Head First Java by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates - is good book to learn from.
