Books Not Taken: In the Shadow of the Throne

Third in my occasional series about books that I decided against reviewing based on issues with the blurb. In the Shadow of the Throne, by Kate Sheridan and Gaia Cardinali. Blurb (my emphasis):
When his younger siblings and parents become too much to bear while on vacation, Jordan tries to get some space. But instead of wandering around the local museum, Jason finds himself dropped into a fantasy world where he can finally have fun! Except in this Elven Kingdom, there's a sinister secret kept hidden by the queen that'll thrust Jordan, the rebellious Prince Astel, and the brave knight Sir Griffith in the middle of a magical battle they never could have anticipated.
I could forgive the paragraph break in mid-sentence (after "dropped" - it's not as obvious in the formatting on this blog), and "in" instead of "into" in the last sentence, but if you can't keep your protagonist's name straight in the blurb, what other errors are you making?
