About this ebook

It’s his birthday, and Jimmy gets to pick out a dog at the humane society. Jimmy has wanted a dog for as long as he can remember. But he never imagined he’d find a pet that could talk to him telepathically!

It turns out that the dog is immortal, born in Egypt more than three thousand years ago. With the ability to read both canine and human thoughts, he has roamed the earth ever since, hoping to find others of his kind. Only after he meets Jimmy does he begin to discover clues to his elusive origins.

When Jimmy rescues Andrew from the pound, the first of their many adventures begins. American Stonehenge takes Jimmy and Andrew to the remote forests of northern Washington, where they accompany the boy’s archaeologist parents on the excavation of a newly discovered site. The find – a fully intact duplicate of Stonehenge in England – is shrouded in a mystery that Jimmy and Andrew must unravel.

How did this Stonehenge come to exist? Why do so many strange things happen around it? And what’s this telepathic dog been up to for the past three millennia? These mysteries and more are waiting to be revealed in Jimmy and Andrew’s first great adventure!

The Google Play edition of American Stonehenge is full color. The text is reflowable, so it doesn’t look exactly like the printed hardcopy book, but it still has all of the illustrations and sketches.

Ratings and reviews

What an amazing book! I loved going on this action-packed adventure with Jimmy and Andrew. This book was a fast-paced, educational read for me with well-developed characters and plots. The illustrations are extremely detailed and beautiful. The illustrations help engage and connect the reader to this wonderful story. I had so much fun reading this. This book is a gem! I will be introducing this book to my boys when they are older.

A delightful children's book that would be an adventure into the depths of the author's creativity, most suitable for readers in all countries of all ages. ✨ The author surpassed my expectations with the rich tapestry of words that showed me the world of Jimmy and Andrew. ✨ There was something so endearing about the characters whose and bonding with each other brought out the meaning of true friendship. ✨ It was not often that I came across a book that would amalgamate history and fantasy well together in a children's book, along with science-fiction. ✨ Did I mention the book is part graphic? That meant I got to visualize the precise scenes and read about them as they happened since the beautifully detailed pictures brought the story to life in my mind. ✨ I was not too fond of the hunting scenes, only because I wouldn't know how children would perceive the concept. ✨ The book was detailed with wonderful, clear graphics, where the voices of the main characters stood strong.
