The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Title: The Lightning Thief
Author: Rick Riordan
Pages read: BOOK COMPLETE

The climax of this novel is when Percy reaches into his backpack and pulls out the Master Bolt, realizing that Ares framed him and he had had been carrying it almost the whole time. The event that leads up to it is Percy, Grover, and Annabeth confronting Hades who tells Percy that the Master Bolt is in his backpack. This is the climax because this is when Percy has completed the most important part of his quest and the Oracle's prophecy has come true (or so he thinks). Another particularly exciting part of the book is when Percy has to choose who to use the magic of his three pearls on when he has four people to save.
