This was a quick, pleasant read.  There wasn't a lot of depth to the story, but it was very engaging, and the two main characters (Alex and Sapphire) were likeable.  I do think that there could have been a great deal more charater development for Alex's brother Argus; in fact I almost wonder if HE should really have been the main character - or if he actually WAS the main character, but you don't realize it until all is said and done.  There's definite possibilities for a sequel with Argus as the main character...Even though the characters are 10 years old (or younger, in the case of Argus), this is not a children's book.  YA, yes, and adults would enjoy it, although they might find it a bit superficial.  Even though I enjoyed this little book (and it was little - it probably only took me 90 minutes to read, if that), I couldn't help feeling that it read as though it was a prequel to a longer, more in-depth book.
