Twelve-year-old Arjun is the new kid in school.
Arjun can't wait to try out for the basketball team--especially because his school's new sponsor, OmniBoost Energy Drinks, has provided new gym equipment, uniforms and high-tech screens. OmniBoost has even taken over the school's cafeteria! But having pizza, fries and energy drinks every day starts taking a toll, and Arjun can't keep up at basketball tryouts.
After having to stay home with major headaches, Arjun begins researching OmniBoost and learns that all of the sugar and caffeine is not giving him the "boost" their slogan claims. When the student council gets wind of Arjun's dilemma, the students rally together to make their voices heard.
