Sy sold fruit. Peaches, plums, pears. And he knew how to cater to his customers: Any ailment they had, Sy could cure it with a piece of fruit.

So what kind of world is it when one day, out of nowhere, Sy becomes invisible? Doctors are baffled; even prunes don't help. Although at first it's fun—sneaking into theaters and onto planes—Sy is soon forced into a life on the run, blamed for everything and anything. It doesn't last long. It couldn't last long.

Sy's adventure, full of surprising twists and turns, is a hilarious riff on a favorite story.
