Going to give this a try for those of you interested. Hope I get this right
Once I get the hang of this, I will try a YA section as well, unless someone wants to beat me to it.
First one, I posted in it's own thread just to start:

Zombie Town [K] by R.L. Stine $1.00
Quote:
Publication Date: April 13, 2012 | Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4th and up
This used to be such a nice, quiet town. But that was before all the zombies. When twelve-year-old Mike and his friend, Karen, go to see a horror movie called Zombie Town, the last thing they expect is for the title characters to come down off the screen and chase them through the theater. And it’s not popcorn these hungry creatures want to chomp on—it’s human brains!
Now Mike and Karen frantically try to flee through the panicked streets of their hometown before shuffling bands of zombies turn every last citizen into a ravenous flesh-eater. But if Mike thinks he’ll be safe once he reaches his house and warns Mom and Dad, he'd better think again. When the zombies say it's lunchtime, no home is safe! Zombie Town is R.L. Stine’s delightfully spooky take on the horror genre that’s infecting the world, bite by bite.
