1. One important detail was that he lived in Moshi, a town near Mount Kilimanjaro, where his father managed to open a hospital to help people and train doctors. Another important thing that happened in the story was that when Greg was eleven years old he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa. The third important detail was that when Greg's little sister Christa was eight he started getting seizures as a result of a vaccination she got and was diagnosed with epilepsy.
