Books with title Staying Alive in Year 5

On what had seemed like a regular school day, an epidemic that nobody saw coming suddenly takes hold and spreads quickly through the classrooms, hallways and other areas. Hundreds are quickly turned, from willing students, into the mindless, shuffling dead. With hopes of survival quickly fading, Jade and Elise, two friends who have somehow escaped the first wave of death, must somehow find their way to safety. But with the whole area teeming with the undead it proves to be trickier than they imagined. In a desperate clash between the living and the infected, the courageous duo join with other survivors to find a place that will be safe. But as they fight their way through the endless tides of the ravenous infected, they slowly come to realize that life, and death, will never be the same again. Staying Alive is going to be harder than they had ever imagined
