Hey Mate..!!

Happy New Year In Advance..!!❤️

Here's Your Answer..!!

The author says "If you could call it a face"
because the face of the boy that Mr.Oliver had seen didn't include the facial features which were necessary to call it a face.
The boy didn't have a nose, eyes, ears, or mouth on his face. It was just a round smooth head – with a school cap on top of it.

Hope This Helps..!!
