Ave! (That is 'hello' in Latin, but I think it means 'hail' too, but whatever) As you might know already from my prev. posts or my title, the book I read for this book report (the third-quarter one) is 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief' by Rick Riordan. I read all 375 pages.

I think the climax of this book is when the three main characters, Percy, Annabeth and Grover just escaped from the Underworld, and find out that Ares helped the lightning thief because of the war the stolen lightning bolt could bring among the gods. I think this part was the climax because Percy and his friends find out a lot about the quest and what caused the quest, where the lightning bolt was, who planned all of this, and because this part pretty much ended the quest except for bringing the lightning bolt to Olympus, to give it back to Zeus.
In this part, Ares appears on the beach Percy and his friends were present, and tells Percy that he and his friends weren't supposed to come back out alive from the Underworld, which was part of Ares's plan to cause a big war among the gods.
Ares also tells Percy everything about his plan, which was that first, he met the lightning thief and found out that he has stolen the lightning bolt. Ares was going to punish the thief, but the thief told Ares about the advantages for the god if he let him (the thief) go. Since Ares was the god of war, the thief told Ares that this could cause a big war among the gods, which was (sort of) an advantage to the god of war. So Ares made a plan to get things happen as the lightning thief and himself wanted, and let the lightning thief go. The plan was that Ares would give Percy the backpack/case carrying the lightning bolt, so Percy won't notice that the lightning bolt was in there. Then, Percy and his friends would go to the Underworld, where Hades was, who thought that Percy both stole the lightning bolt and Hades's symbol of power, the Helm of Darkness. Hades would kill Percy, Annabeth, and Grover, and find the lightning bolt inside the bag Ares gave Percy. Then the three most powerful gods: Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, will accuse and fight each other and cause a big war among the gods.
Then, Percy gets angry and both Ares and Percy decide to duel, which is kind of not smart (stupid) of Percy because Ares was the war god, which means that he couldn't die, and Ares would be very skilled in fighting. But somehow Percy manages to injure the war god in the ankle with his sword (Riptide/Anaklusmos), which makes Ares angry, tells Percy that he made a dangerous enemy, and leave (what? He leaves?).
I think that was the climax.
