YA adventure for boys. This is a tale about 4 friends (of kind-of friends) that get sucked into an other-worldly adventure they try to avoid. They all have insecurities which lead them to behave in certain ways: Mitchell compulsively lies, Joe wants to fight, Ryan wants to joke, and Marc wants to solve all problems through physics.  The first three have the same dream where a girl with magical blue eyes begs them to find and help her. Marc doesn't believe them and decides to prove them wrong scientifically--watching them while they sleep at a sleepover to prove their dreams mean nothing. When they all pulled into another world by the `Eye Dancer,' each of them unwittingly signs up for a journey of growth. The journey of how they each overcome their insecurities was written cleverly and the plot kept me guessing all the way to the end.
