Earth Geeks Must Go! is the twenty-fourth novel in the Goosebumps 2000 series by R. L. Stine. The original title was Earth Geeks Must Die! but was changed due to it being too violent.

[edit] Summary

This is a story about a boy named Jacob Miller that goes to school only to find out that he can't remember anything about his life, apart from the fact that he is in the wrong planet. He sees that their letters are different. He finds his sister and father and tries to escape because they are wanted for being Earth Geeks. They are caught, but later understood. They are taken to Crazy Old Phil to ride on his spaceship. They ride on the spaceship towards Earth, but something goes wrong. They crash on a planet which seems like Earth. With a 'twist' at the end, they see people that have lizard heads to prove that they are still not on Earth.

[edit] Back Cover

(The back covers of Goosebumps Series 2000 are always paragraphs from the book) I click the remote from channel to channel. On a fishing show, two men in a motorboat are pulling a strange two-headed fish from the water, On a game show, contestants are receiving jolts of electricity. I click again, and we see a news program. "Earth Geeks have landed." the reporter announces solemnly."Everyone should be one the lookout. The mayor-governor has declared a state of emergency." I turn to Arlene. I can see by her face that she has the same thought. "Maybe we're the Earth Geeks!-and they're out to get us!"
