Thank you, Jormis! That was just the book I was looking for!
I literally cannot make out with a television the fuck

There's a work I'm looking for because I had gotten an idea for a new trope for the Mer Tropes index. I remember reading a children's book in my high school about a mermaid held captive in an aquarium run by a guy who puts up a God Guise pretending to be Poseidon. The book would've features the girl learning that she actually can gain legs on land, and upon doing so, she discovers that fraud that her owner is, speaks for the first time, and learns to live on her own among humans.
The book may be named "Fish Girl", but I'm not sure. I looked for this piece of literature in Mermaid Media, but didn't find it anywhere.
