Description

The book is about Sy Kravitz, a Brooklyn fruit seller who becomes invisible one day. At first, Sy enjoys the fun of sneaking into theaters and planes, but soon finds himself being blamed for various crimes and forced to go on the run. The story follows Sy's adventure as he tries to clear his name while remaining invisible.

Quick Summary

A fruit seller who suddenly turns invisible and gets blamed for every mishap in Brooklyn makes for a hilariously chaotic premise that turns the classic invisibility trope on its head. Kids will giggle at the absurd situations Sy finds himself in, from accidentally knocking over fruit stands to being chased by angry neighbors who swear they saw a floating hat. If your kid loves the wacky humor of Captain Underpants or the silly mishaps in Dragon's Fat Cat, they'll be swept up in this one. Perfect for newly independent readers in kindergarten through second grade who enjoy short, laugh-out-loud stories.
