Chapter One "The Morning Thief"
"Lisa awoke with a start, the echoes of her dreams still dancing in her mind, the low rumble of thunder murmured through the quiet house. The house was deathly still, the only sound Lisa could hear was her own heartbeat pounding in her ears. The hairs on her neck tingled when suddenly -" Then the book is interrupted by events at the Beach House and no more of it is read.

Trivia

 * This book bears a similarity to many urban fantasy series, but seems especially similar to the His Dark Materials series. The main character in the series is a girl named Lyra, who has a familiar named Pantalaimon (also an Ancient Greek name) called a Daemon, which everyone in the world also possesses. She spends much of the series searching for her father, who has gone missing.
 * Presumable Order of Series : #1: The Unfamiliar Familiar, #2: Welcome To The Wizard Wilds, #3: Overneath The Underworld, #4: Destiny's End.
 * This book also shares the same plot as Ni No Kuni, a game about a wizard boy named Oliver. He goes on a quest with his familiars in another world to find his mom's soul who's been captured by an evil man named Shadar.
 * Destiny's End is confirmed the 4th book as it is shown on the cover. It is also the final book in the series.
 * The episode "Open Book " was based around the book series and reveals more details about the plot.
 * The series ends with Lisa and Archimicarus getting married (after the latter has been transformed into a human).
 * The final book contains a 50-pages long description of their wedding cake, much to Steven's delight and Connie's dismay.
 * While Steven privately liked the end of the series, Connie disliked it outright. He was afraid to tell her because of how passionately she felt about it.
 * Archimicarus' name may have been derived from the names "Archimedes", an ancient Greek physicist, engineer, astronomer, and "Icarus", in Greek mythology, best known for his failed attempt to fly.
