I got one at REI about a year ago that was somewhere in the $30-50 range. I don't remember but I don't think I would have spent more than $50. It has two light level settings (the bright id moer focused in a beam) and I almost always use the brighter one. If you have a 13 year old, your eyes are younger than mine but I think you'd want the bright option. It is a Diamond brand and it's waterproof (I think it was the only waterproof one they had when I bought it) - I really like that feature. The REI guy said that he hadn't been a fan of Diamond brand, but this one looked to be good quality - I use it often and don't baby it and it's not had any problems. I thought they were kind of stupid until a friend gave me on and I tried it out. They're so handy when you need them, I'd recommend getting a good one and hide it from the kid.
