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 aloud.
Trivia

- Unfamiliar Familiar seems to be based off of the novel "Northern Lights" by Phillip Pullman.
