The Rainbow Stone: Story Eggs, Book 1

by Marc Finks

DISCLAIMER - This book is an experiment. It's part of an interactive app (Story Eggs) but I'm trying to make a new kind of Kindle book. This...no one has made this kind of illustrated CYOA book before, and I've tried to teach myself the correct coding to make it work....but it's still hard trying to create a brand new concept for a Kindle book. That is why this is a free book. It works well on Kindle for computer and iPad, even though one page seems to glitch for me.

I am doing my best to try and figure out how to make it perfect, but it's a work in progress. Thank you for trying it out, and. I apologize if the result is disappointing for you and your children.

One night as you're getting ready to sleep, a light appears in your closet. King Little needs your help! Someone has stolen the rainbow stone and he needs YOUR help to find it!

In this interactive Choose Your Own Adventure story, YOU decide where to look first - in the lake? In the forest? In the hot desert? And only YOU can find the rainbow stone and return it to King Little!

Can you be the hero that everyone needs you to be?!?

This is the first of many books in the Story Eggs family! *Learn more at* *

About the author

I'm a teacher, father, and storyteller fascinated by how big ideas shape little moments (and vice versa!). My work spans from whimsical children's tales to tongue-in-cheek historical parodies—always with a spark of adventure.

For Young Readers: The Capybara Adventure Series, where lovable siblings Carlos and Camila explore nature, solve fun mysteries, and learn about caring for our planet. Aimed at Grade 2-3 readers, these lighthearted journeys introduce curiosity, empathy, and environmental themes in every chapter.

For Adventure Lovers of All Ages: My comedic passion project The Lucifer Journals, a 70-volume saga in which a well-meaning cosmic observer (a.k.a. Lucifer) accidentally triggers humanity's major turning points—agriculture, armies, organized religion—often with chaotic and hilarious results. Each volume reimagines how human history might unfold if one well-intentioned meddler just couldn't keep his hands off the timeline.

Whether I'm teaching in a classroom, sharing bedtime stories with my own kids, or spinning a quirky alternative history, my goal remains consistent: to spark wonder and laughter, and to remind us that even the biggest adventures start with a single curious step.
