The book I usually recommend is Two Scoops of Django with a small caveat that while it remains the most lucid guide to a fairly complex framework, Django itself has evolved since its publication (most notably in its support for async). But I actually just learned there's a new version out that targets Django 3.0 and supposedly covers all its fancy new bells and whistles. Haven't picked it up yet, maybe someone who has can chime in. But IMO you really can't go wrong with Two Scoops — I'm sure the new version is fantastic.
Intermediate-level Python proficiency is assumed, but that's to be expected when learning any new framework.
