I liked this story straight away; it was a modern version of  Enid Blyton Adventure books I'd loved as a child (must admit to reading them even now). True the characters are very different and the ideas have changed but the premise is the same; except we add a dose of science to the mix and a wormhole,  how times have changed.The four friends complement each other; the odd one out, not really part of the group is Marc, or Kuslanski as they call him, further alienating him; he is a bit too tightly wired for his own good. Mitchell, who first sees the blue eyes in his dreams, is very awkward and shy especially with girls, Joe has a bad temper and wants to resolve everything with a punch. Ryan is the total opposite he likes to talk his way out of a situation. They work together very well, although it would have been better to have girls amongst them, just as Enid did, for a more interesting mix of characters. There are girls of course, it is a little girl calling them and Mitchell does meet one he likes, but they are satellites. I don't know if I would have been so keen on Enid as a child if it were just boys having the big adventure.I don't want to give the story away so I'll just add, It is well written, modern but thankfully not idiomatic which is very hard to read and I usually give up on. A fast read that keeps you interested.
